📰About Smileys Shopping Center
Smileys Shopping Center is a new construction project located at 9485 Maple Ridge Dr in Willis, Montgomery County. The development covers 8,500 sq ft with an estimated cost of $900,000. The scope includes a shopping center with owner-operated tenants, consisting of a convenience store, a liquor store, and a washateria. NNB Enterprises is the owner and developer of record for this private, privately funded project.
TDLR registered the project in June 2020, and plan review was completed in the same month. Construction was scheduled to begin in July 2020 and finish in December 2021. Although the scheduled completion date has passed, TDLR has not yet recorded a final inspection. Consequently, the current state of the site is not confirmed in the public record, and there is no indication that the business is open or operating.
Project Specifications and Context
The estimated cost of $900,000 translates to $106 per square foot. This figure is close to the county median of $100 per square foot for similar new construction filings in Montgomery County. The total estimated cost is also close to the county median of $800,000. The scheduled build window for this project was 539 days, which is longer than the county median of 213 days for comparable filings.

Other registered projects in the Willis area include Domino's Pizza Willis, Bldg 'S', Market At Willis, Academy, Willis Town Center, and Longhorn Steakhouse. These projects involve various types of work, including renovations and new construction. The Montgomery County unemployment rate was 4.8 percent in July 2026, higher than a year earlier. Smileys Shopping Center remains a specific entry in the TDLR database with a status of Review Complete, but the lack of a final inspection record means the physical completion of the structure is not verified by state records.
