Collin Creek Mall was a two-level, enclosed regional mall in Plano, Texas opened in 1981 and closed for redevelopment in 2019. It was located near the intersection of US 75 (Central Expressway) and President George Bush Turnpike. Since September 2019, the mall has been partially demolished with the central section planned to become part of a $1 billion mixed-use development, designed by Centurion American Development Group.[1][2][3]
History
When the mall opened in July 1981, Collin Creek featured a River Walk: a series of fountains connected by an indoor creek. The mall also contained a "village" of small shops lining corridors narrower than the rest of the mall. The creek and most of the fountains were later removed, except for a small fountain left in the middle of the mall. Several years before the mall closed, plants were put in the remaining fountain. The village shops were removed and the space converted into a food court as part of a remodeling project in 1992.[4]
In 2008, Collin Creek Mall had a small remodel including new paint and new tile,[5] much like what Richardson Square Mall had in 1998.
In 2018, the property was sold to Centurion American. On Friday, July 26, 2019, Collin Creek Mall had a farewell party to say goodbye to the mall. As of Wednesday, July 31, 2019, Collin Creek Mall is closed. Demolition and redevelopment began in September 2019.
Anchor tenants
JCPenney
The JCPenney Co. department store was an original anchor tenant of the mall. It was the only operating store left on the property when the mall closed. On August 18, 2020, it was announced that JCPenney would be closing as part of a plan to close 155 stores nationwide. The store closed in November 2020.[6]
Amazing Jake's
The fifth anchor opened as a Lord & Taylor department store in 1981. Lord & Taylor closed in 1990, and was replaced by a Mervyn's department store. Mervyn's exited the Texas market in early 2006 and the anchor store was temporarily vacant. In July 2008, the former Mervyn's was converted into a two-story Amazing Jake's indoor playland and buffet restaurant. By April 2019, Amazing Jake's was closed leaving the space vacant.
