when did big town mall close
FedEx will locate a large regional distribution center on the former site of the Big Town shopping center on U.S. Highway 80 near Buckner Boulevard. The development tract was previously the site of the Dallas-areaâs first shopping mall, which opened in 1959. Big Town mall was demolished in 2006 and the property rezoned for industrial construction. Dallas-based developer Scott Rohrmanâs 42 Real Estate LLC is building the 334,000-square-foot shipping hub for FedEx. âIt will take up most of the site,â Rohrman said.
