ULTA Beauty to open store in Destiny USA this year

SYRACUSE — ULTA Beauty, a national cosmetics retailer, plans to open a new store at Destiny USA this year.

ULTA Beauty will take up 10,200 square feet on the first level of the shopping mall’s expansion, next to the Saks Fifth Avenue OFF 5th store, Destiny announced Thursday.

The beauty chain, founded in 1990 and headquartered in Bolingbrook, Ill. (near Chicago), sells more than 20,000 beauty products for men and women. It carries a variety of cosmetics, fragrance, hair care, skin care, bath and body products, salon styling tools, and salon hair-care products. Each store also opens with a full-service salon, according to a news release from Destiny.

“ULTA Beauty is a highly sought after brand for salon products at great prices and all in one place,” Rob Schoeneck, general manager of Destiny USA, said in the release. “They were a perfect fit for what we’re continuing to introduce within the expansion and across the facility.”

As of Nov. 2, 2013, ULTA Beauty operated 664 retail stores across 46 states, according to its website, through which it also distributes its products. 

ULTA Beauty already has one Syracuse–area store in the Fairmount Fair shopping center in Camillus. It also has locations in New Hartford, Horseheads, and Vestal.
