[1][2] Richardson Square Mall opened three years later along Plano Road, with Sears becoming one of its anchors, in addition to Montgomery Ward, Dillard's, and Titche-Goettinger.
Food vendors were grouped in the entrance corridors at each end of the mall–by Sears (Hot Sam Pretzels, Bresler's Ice Cream, Karmelkorn) and Montgomery Ward (Chick-fil-A, Orange Julius).
[4] In 1981, the much larger Collin Creek Mall opened in nearby Plano, but Richardson Square remained popular and fully occupied throughout the 1980s.
An L-shaped, free-standing strip of stores was built in 1984–85 on the outer corner of the property closest to Lloyd V. Berkner High School.
[5] In 1998, the mall was remodeled,[6] with many new tenants, including Barnes & Noble bookstore, which occupied the space of multiple stores.
The entrance corridor near Sears, formerly occupied by a movie theater, arcade, and several food vendors, became a Stein Mart.
