Proposed development
THE COLONY — A furniture superstore that got its start in the basement of a thrift shop could be the key to a new billion dollar development in North Texas.
News 8 has learned that Nebraska Furniture Mart plans to build a new store in The Colony.
It would be the first Texas location for a chain that features stores even bigger than Ikea's massive retail outlet in neighboring Frisco.
Developers think the location along Highway 121 could lead to a theme park, a hotel, and a convention center.
