Desert Ridge Marketplace To Add Four New Tenants

Desert Ridge Marketplace announced the mall is nearly fully leased with the addition of four new great brands coming within the next year.

According to a press release, Sephora, Foley Ranch, Backyard and Nautical Bowls are scheduled to open their doors over the next year and will occupy a total of 22,400 square feet of space at the open-air center located just north of the Loop 101 Pima Freeway on Tatum Boulevard.

“The arrival of these new brands brings the center to 99.4% leased and reflects the marketplace’s commitment to meeting the diverse needs of its shoppers,” Jenny Cushing, vice president of leasing for Vestar, which owns and manages Desert Ridge, said in a press release.

A popular beauty industry leader, Sephora is set to join Desert Ridge Marketplace sometime this winter inside The District section of the shopping center. Sephora is a destination for beauty enthusiasts which provide over 340 curated brands.

Foley Ranch, one of several new restaurant concepts in the center, is a 7,000-square-foot country bar that will open this fall between BJ’s Restaurant and Barrio Queen on the west side of Desert Ridge. The venue will feature music, dancing, delicious drinks, and barbecue inspired by Celebrity Chef Brian Duffy.

First-to-market concept, Backyard will also be coming sometime in 2024. This dog-friendly bar and grill will be the great place to meet friends, for a fun, comfortable place to kick back in an over 8,000-square-foot open-air playground. Backyard will offer a large-scale patio vibe with a colorful, yet rustic and relaxed space that is packed with games, TVs, bars, food and entertainment.

Nautical Bowls is another eatery being added to the northwest side of the shopping center near Albertsons. Nautical Bowls will offer superfood bowls, acai and other delicious menu items. Nautical Bowls provides a healthy and filling option that is packed with essential vitamins and nutrients. Their bowls are gluten-free, dairy-free, plant-based, soy-free, contains zero refined sugars, and is made with organic, all-natural ingredients.
