Stonebriar Centre, commonly referred to as Stonebriar Mall, is a super-regional mall located at the intersection of Preston Road (SH 289) and the Sam Rayburn Tollway (SH 121) in Frisco, Texas. The mall features Macy's, Nordstrom, Dillard's, JCPenney, and Dick's Sporting Goods, as well as a 24-screen AMC movie theater and a food court with a carousel.

History

In 1988, Homart, a then-subsidiary of Sears, planned to develop a million-square foot mall in Frisco, which consisted of roughly 6,000 people at the time.[2]

When Plano city officials learned of Homart's plan, they offered $10 million if the company decided to move its planned mall across Texas Route 121 into their city limits. However, Frisco lobbied to keep the planned mall and negotiated tax incentives to close the deal. Plano then convinced another company, General Growth Properties, to place a mall within their city limits. In 1995, General Growth acquired Homart, who had already signed an agreement with Frisco.[3] The City of Frisco made a final offer to General Growth of a half-cent sales tax rebate, property tax abatement for ten years, and infrastructure improvements in and around the mall. Plano continued to lobby hard for the new mall and Frisco eventually upped its sales-tax grant. Frisco finally opened Stonebriar Centre on August 4, 2000, making it the last mall in the DFW metroplex to open in the 20th century and the 2nd millennium.[4]

In 2016, the mall's AMC theatre located on the upper levels was shuttered for three months for updating and remodeling.[5]

In May 2018, construction began on the 18-story Stonebriar Hyatt Hotel which would be attached to the mall.[6] It opened to the public in June 2020.[7]

In 2019, Sears announced it would shutter as part of an ongoing decision to phase out of their traditional brick-and-mortar format. Several additional replacement tenants are reportedly in the midst of early on discussions.[8]

In the fall of 2019, KidZania opened its first location in the United States.[9]

Foiled terrorist plot

In May 2018, 17-year old Matin Azizi-Yarand was arrested at Plano West Senior High School for planning a terrorist attack on the mall. Starting from December 2017, he spoke to an undercover FBI agent posing as an ISIS member. He was held on $3 million bond. In May 2019, he was sentenced to 20 years in prison.[10] Azizi-Yarand is currently incarcerated at Gib Lewis Unit with a scheduled release date of April 30, 2038.[11]
