A planned 50,000-square-foot Tom Thumb grocery store will no longer open in the Red Bird mall redevelopment.
The Tom Thumb was to be located at the southeast corner of Camp Wisdom and Westmoreland roads, and expected to create at least 90 jobs. Work on the store was estimated to cost roughly $7.75 million and expected to open in November 2025.
After the city of Dallas awarded $5.8 million in subsidies to the project, construction on the store was set to begin this fall.
However, Albertsons Companies, which owns the Tom Thumb chain, told the city Dec. 5 that it “decided to terminate its economic development incentive agreement with the City” and will no longer develop the Tom Thumb grocery store within the Shops at RedBird, according to a city of Dallas memo sent to the Mayor and council members.
