The beauty-supply retailer Sephora is opening a 5,600 square foot store at the Tucson Mall this November.
The store, which will sell high-end cosmetics, fragrances and skin-care products, will be on the second floor of the mall near the new main entrance, said store director Angie Davis.
The new entrance is under construction where Macy’s was located before being demolished last October.
Sephora’s grand opening will be Nov. 14, Davis said.
“This is a remote market for Sephora, we’ve never come this far south,” she said. But the company got feedback that there was demand for their products in Tucson, Davis said.
The company has 671 stores worldwide and plans to open 44 stores in 2009, Davis said. Tucson could get an additional store, she said.
