Plans to bring a Trader Joe’s grocery store to Frisco are under review by city officials.
Frisco’s Planning and Zoning Commission is set to consider a zoning change at a July 28 meeting for a nearly 10-acre mixed-use development that could be anchored by a Trader Joe’s store.
What to know
A Trader Joe’s grocery store has been proposed for the corner of Majestic Gardens Drive and Main Street as part of a larger mixed-use development, including a senior living facility and open green space. Plans were first introduced at an April 28 planning and zoning commission meeting.
Trader Joe’s officials first confirmed they were considering plans for a Frisco location in October 2025. The proposed development places Trader Joe’s at the corner of the site, with the senior living facility on the southern portion. While the area’s current zoning allows the grocery store, the senior living component requires a zoning change.
Travis Thompson, a representative for landowner SNS Frisco West Main Station LLC, said in a news release the Trader Joe’s mixed-use property aims to create a destination that improves everyday life for residents “for decades to come.”
"We started this journey with the idea to create a project that would not only be viable for us but would also provide meaningful benefits to Frisco residents without overwhelming the neighborhood," Thompson said in the release. “What began as a vision has evolved through countless revisions and conversations into a plan that is stronger because of the community's input."
Meeting the community’s needs
Over the last two years, Thompson said the project has undergone numerous modifications and enhancements, including:
- Increased parking for residents and visitors
- Expanded open space
- Enhanced landscaping and streetscape improvements along Majestic Gardens
- Architectural refinements designed to improve the development’s appearance and character
- Revisions based on feedback from city staff, residents and surrounding stakeholders
Additionally, Thompson said the project’s team has devoted “substantial time and resources” to addressing traffic concerns. In the release, Thompson said “Traffic was the issue we heard most often, and we took that feedback seriously.”
“We are grateful to every resident, neighborhood representative, community organization, city staff member and elected official who took the time to share their thoughts and ideas,” Thompson said in the release. “Rather than simply meeting minimum requirements, we worked alongside city staff to identify solutions that improve conditions and create a better experience for residents, visitors and neighbors.”
Traffic studies indicate the proposed development is expected to generate “less traffic than other uses currently permitted on the property under existing zoning regulations,” the release states.
Before Thompson’s work with city staff, residents and local developers, the Frisco Planning and Zoning Commission originally recommended denial of the zoning change. Now, commission members are recommending approval.
What’s next
The proposal will go before the Frisco Planning and Zoning Commission at 6:30 p.m., July 28, at the George A. Purefoy Municipal Center, located at 6101 Frisco Square Blvd. The meeting can be streamed live on the city’s website.
