New Antique Mall Open in Frisco

Mr. Harrison decided to locate his new mall in the Frisco/McKinney portion of the metroplex because “there are no other antique malls in the entire area.   Area designers, decorators and other shoppers just have to drive too far to find what they want,” he says.  Mr. Harrison firmly believes the area has a demand for this type of store and that Frisco Mercantile will serve the community well.   And area demographics also support such a business.  Both communities are rapidly growing, and according to sources at their respective city halls, Frisco population is now approximately 107,000, and McKinney population approximately 122,000.  

 Brigitte Kelly, a longtime interior designer and antiquer, is the mall’s manager.  She says that so far, enthusiasm is high, not only among shoppers, but also with existing and prospective tenants.  And Ms. Kelly, who is also in charge of leasing, says that even though the official “grand” opening of Frisco Mercantile is still months away, leasing is steady and brisk.  “If someone wants a reasonably-priced, attractive way to showcase and sell their antiques and collectibles, they need come see me as soon as possible.”
