History of Preston Royal Village:
Preston Royal Village has provided a premier retail shopping experience for residents of north Dallas since 1958. Centrally located in Dallas and nestled in the Preston Hollow neighborhood, one of Dallas' most preferred addresses, Preston Royal Village offers 236,000 square feet of retail space and 11,600 square feet of office spaces on 16 acres.

The northwest side of the center was developed by Henry S. Miller, Co. and Trammell Crow in 1958. The architect was Harold Berry and the Contractor was McFadden and Miller. They originally named the property Preston Royal Village to distinguish it from the shopping center across the street.

In 1965, Miller and Crow acquired the northeast side, developed by George Mixon, Sr. and the entire area become known as Preston Royal Shopping Center. The idea to revive the original name of "Preston Royal Village" came up in a merchant's meeting as a "community-oriented" title which was more descriptive of the entire center.

When Preston Royal Village opened, North Dallas was not the shopping market it is today. There was only one other North Dallas retail strip north of Northwest Highway. By 1965, more than 60 outstanding stores, specialty shops, and service establishments had joined together to serve the people of North Dallas with one fully coordinated regional type shopping center on both sides of Preston Road, north of Royal Lane.

The space presently occupied by Blockbuster Video was originally developed as a Theatre in 1958 by McLendon Theatre chain, and was the first "Hard Top" theatre built in Dallas after WWII. The theatre was closed in 1995. In Tom Thumb the current deli location was originally an ice cream store called "Sally B."

Through the years, Preston Royal Village has maintained a warm and friendly neighborhood atmosphere while offering an excellent mix of service tenants, specialty fashion and home design stores. It is an ideal neighborhood resource for everything from grocery, banking, and post office necessities to upscale fashion, beauty and restaurant amenities.

Today, Preston Royal Village is home to over 65 merchants, some long established, some new. Preston Royal Village's strong reputation and identification in Dallas is due to its personal commitment to its customer combined with offering modern conveniences. At Preston Royal Village you can tempt your culinary delights with fine restaurants, create your own style with upscale fashion and furniture, and service your personal needs all at one retail cross-road.
