Frisco residents, your grocery dollars are in demand. Whole Foods Market is the latest food retailer to pick a site in your town.
Whole Foods will anchor the retail section of a large mixed-use development planned in Frisco at the southeast corner of the Dallas North Tollway and Lebanon Road.
The store will be about 45,000 square feet and is expected to open in fall 2015.
Atlanta-based Thomas Land & Development LLC recently purchased the land and has named the 110-acre project The Forum at Wade Park. The Wade family sold Thomas the land. It had been in their family for more than 100 years.
The buildings are expected to be arranged in a pedestrian-friendly layout. The first phase will open in summer 2015.
It will include about 600,000 square feet of high-end retail with up to 3 million square feet of office, 1,200 apartments and 127 luxury single family homes with concierge services. Plans are to include a hotel.
The site is near the proposed new headquarters and practice facilities for the Dallas Cowboys. Thomas Land president Stan Thomas said Whole Foods is the first of many “premier” tenants he’s trying to attract.
Whole Foods is a good start. Other retailers probably won’t scoff at being in a center with the Austin-based chain of organic grocery supermarkets.
Whole Foods Southwest region president Mark Dixon said as the grocer expends in North Texas Frisco was a likely location as one of the fastest growing areas in the U.S. Whole Foods has eight stores in the Dallas area and a few more in the works.
In September, Tom Thumb opened a large new store in Frisco. Kroger, Market Street, Sprouts, Wal-Mart and Aldi have recently built new stores in Frisco too. Last year, H-E-B said that it was looking at the northeast corner of FM 423 and Lebanon.
