A former Fry’s Electronics location at the intersection of U.S. 75 and President George Bush Turnpike has been repositioned as a co-warehousing facility, providing new small-bay industrial and workspace options for entrepreneurs and small businesses. The 174,500-square-foot building, which closed as a Fry’s store in 2021, has been reconfigured to accommodate more than 160 companies.
The property now operates as WareSpace Plano, offering private warehouse suites that range from 200 to 2,000 square feet. According to reporting from the Dallas Business Journal, the facility combines dedicated warehouse areas with a range of shared amenities intended to support day-to-day business operations.
On-site features at WareSpace Plano include conference rooms for meetings, shared kitchens for tenant use, and lounge areas that provide informal collaboration and break space. The facility’s short-term, flexible lease structures are designed to reduce long-term commitments for occupants that may be growing but are not yet ready to assume the obligations of a conventional industrial lease.
The co-warehousing concept targets companies that need more space and functionality than a typical garage or self-storage unit, but that do not require or cannot justify leasing an entire warehouse. By consolidating storage, light industrial functions, and office-style amenities under one roof, the building is positioned to act as a bridge between home-based operations and traditional industrial facilities.
WareSpace CEO Levi Cohen noted that many tenants at the company’s locations have expanded beyond garages or self-storage but view a full industrial lease as involving more space, more commitment, and more risk than their business stage warrants. The co-warehousing model is structured to address that gap by offering smaller, move-in-ready spaces with shorter lease terms.
The new WareSpace Plano facility, located at 700 E. Plano Pkwy., is the company’s fourth location in the Dallas-Fort Worth region, following other sites in Addison, Fort Worth, and North Richland Hills. The conversion of the former electronics store into a multi-tenant warehouse and workspace adds another flexible option for local businesses seeking industrial and office capabilities in a single setting.
