A large Asian department store that carries imported home goods, toys and cosmetics is set to open in Tucson.
Teso Life leased 18,002 square feet within Tucson Place Shopping Center, 605 E. Wetmore Road, at North First Avenue.
A grand opening earlier this month of a Teso Life store near Jacksonville, Fla., attracted a crowd of shoppers.
The landlord, Larsen Baker, was represented by its broker, Isaac Figueroa. Ryan Desmond, with Western Retail Advisors, represented the tenant.
Aside from merchandise and food, Teso Life stores also include an arcade and unfamiliar snacks, such as garlic prawn-flavored Doritos.
The store is Chinese-owned with lifestyle products from Japan and other Asian countries.
