Richardson Square Mall
Richardson Square Mall (1977-2006) was an enclosed single-level shopping center located in Richardson, Texas on Plano Road, stretching between the intersections of Belt Line Road and Spring Valley Road. The three adjacent corners of Belt Line and Plano Road were also occupied by shopping centers. The mall attached to an existing Sears, which served as an anchor store and remained in business after Richardson Square Mall was demolished in June 2007. Now located in its place is an outdoor retail center that goes by the name Richardson Square. History The 139,000 square foot Sears building opened on March 6, 1974, before the mall existed, and operated as a standalone store. Richardson Square Mall opened in 1977 along Plano Road with Sears being one of the four anchors in addition to Montgomery Ward, Dillard's, and Titche-Goettinger (which became Joske's in 1979). While the mall, Sears, and Montgomery Ward, were single-level, the other two anchor locations were each two stories. During its peak in the 1980s, the mall included the Richardson Square I-II-III movie theater (owned by General Cinema), a video game arcade across from it, two bookstores (Waldenbooks and B. Dalton), and two music stores (Musicland and Camelot Music). Food vendors
