Mary’s Mountain Cookies Closes Frisco Store, McKinney Location Stays Open

Mary’s Mountain Cookies, the chain known for its large quarter pound cookies, posted on social media on December 10, 2025 that its Frisco location at 3311 2 Preston Road has permanently closed. The company did not provide further reasons in the announcement. The McKinney shop, which was the chain’s first Texas location when it opened in 2020, will remain in operation, and the company says it will open another store in Midlothian in 2026.

The closure removes a retail option along a busy Preston Road corridor and may affect lunchtime and weekend foot traffic for neighboring businesses. For customers who frequented the Frisco store, the nearest open location is the McKinney shop. For workers at the closed store the social media notice offered no details on staffing plans, leaving employment impacts at the single location unclear.

From a market perspective, the simultaneous closure and expansion suggests the company is reallocating resources within North Texas rather than retreating entirely from the region. Opening a Midlothian store in 2026 points to a strategy focused on growth in outer suburban and exurban areas, while consolidating in parts of Collin County where operating conditions may be less favorable. Local municipal officials track commercial vacancies and retail activity because they influence sales tax receipts and local economic vitality. Even a single storefront closure can matter to a shopping center’s leasing dynamics and to municipal revenue forecasts when replicated across multiple businesses.

Longer term, this event fits broader trends in the food service and retail sectors, where operators adjust footprints in response to changing consumer habits, rising operating costs, and delivery competition. For residents and local policymakers, the immediate priorities are monitoring redevelopment of the 3311 2 Preston Road space, supporting any displaced workers, and watching whether other specialty retailers expand or contract along the same corridor. For updates, the company posted the announcement on its social media channels and on its company website.
