New Ulta Beauty Opening In Monrovia Landing

MONROVIA, CA – Ulta Beauty is coming to Monrovia Landing shopping center, with a grand opening on September 14 at 9:45 a.m., Warner Pacific Properties announced Thursday. The beauty store will join T.J.Maxx, HomeGoods, ALDI, and O’Reilly Auto Parts, among others.

Ulta Beauty is the largest beauty retailer in the U.S. and sells cosmetics, fragrance, skin care products, hair care products and salon services, the press release said. Ulta Beauty offers more than 20,000 products from over 500 well-established and emerging beauty brands across all categories and price points, including Ulta Beauty’s own private label, the press release said. The store also offers a full-service salon in every store featuring hair, skin and brow services.

"We're thrilled to welcome Ulta Beauty to Monrovia Landing,” Michael Odell, principal and co-founder of Warner Pacific Properties, said. “We have also signed two new tenants, Kids Empire and Tapioca Express, which brings the occupancy to 100 percent with long-term quality tenants that provide the best-possible synergy for this completely renovated and repositioned center.”

Kids Empire, a Southern California-based company, will also open a 10,500 sq. ft. facility at Monrovia Landing by January 2019. Kids Empire provides a "safe, high-quality place for the children to play, explore, and expend energy in a way that is fun for the whole family," the press release said. There will also be a café where adults can relax and enjoy food and drinks with friends and family.

Tapioca Express is a Taiwanese-American fast-food franchise chain specializing in bubble tea, coffee, a variety of fruit juices, yoghurt, smoothies and slushes, and small meals, sandwiches and light snacks. The eatery is expected to open its 1,200 sq. ft. restaurant at Monrovia Landing in November.

“Adding Kids Empire and Tapioca express, Monrovia Landing is 100 percent leased to category-leading, value-focused and necessity/grocery retailers providing a bulwark against internet competition,” Philip Voorhees, executive vice president, CBRE National Retail Partners - West, said. “In fact, T.J.Maxx, HomeGoods, ALDI, O’Reilly Auto Parts and Ulta Beauty account for 80 percent of the total leasable area in the project, and at one of the most visible, high traffic locations in this trade area.”
