## Background (Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0, shortened)

Richardson Square Mall was an enclosed single-level shopping center located in Richardson, Texas on Plano Road, stretching between the intersections of Belt Line Road and Spring Valley Road, that was in business from 1977 to 2006. The mall attached to an existing Sears, which served as one of four anchor stores. Two anchors, including Sears, were single-level, while the others were two level.
