3 Spas in Scottsdale North Marketplace - Scottsdale Arizona
This article is brought to you by Spavelous.com. http://www.spavelous.com
You really have to ask…what are these spas thinking?
Three spas in the same shopping center. They could potentially feel that they each have a different market. Hand & Stone the lower end Franchise spa, which only does massages for members. Bella Day Spa which also offers nail and hair services and Adam & Eve Medspa which will offer the aesthetic and cosmetic services, including restorative and reparative procedures.
You can not help to think that they will encroach on each other’s spa business. Hopefully they will do joint marketing and work as a team to do cross promotions and build each of their business as opposed to competing with each other. Should they choose the later, no one will win.
When you are going to build a spa, you should check out not only the existing competition, but you should seek to be the only spa in your shopping center. At very least , you should determine if the builder has any intention of leasing to other similar businesses.
6 tenants to join AJ’s in marketplace
Three spas, a dry cleaner, interior designer and a bank branch will be the latest properties to open this summer at the 84,668-square-foot Scottsdale North Marketplace.
The center, southwest Lone Mountain and Scottsdale roads, serves north Scottsdale, Carefree and Cave Creek and is anchored by an AJ’s Fine Foods, which opened a 27,728-square-foot store in November.
Phoenix-based retail developer Pederson Group owns the shopping center.
“This is a great place to do business, because the customers really embrace you and make you a part of their lives,” said AJ’s Store Director Bill Hutson.
Joining AJ’s in mid-May is Casa Paloma Interiors, which will offer home furnishings and unique accessories, inspired gift items and interior design services. The store, owned and operated by Diane Johnson Maier, occupies 2,000 square feet.
Also set to open this month is Martinizing Dry Cleaners, which will use 1,080 square feet of space. The company says it is the “premier eco-friendly dry cleaning company” with more than 500 locations nationwide.
The dry cleaner uses a liquid, sand-based silicone it calls “Green Earth,” which is gentle on the nose and clothing. The silicone leaves clothes looking, smelling and feeling better, the company says.
The Hand & Stone Massage Spa is set to open in June with 2,778 square feet of retail space. The spa will provide a variety of massage services, including foot and facial massages ranging in times from 50 to 80 and up to 110 minutes.
Hand & Stone uses polished river stones heated up to 125 degrees, which helps a masseuse reach three layers deep into muscle tissue, according to the company. The store will sell a range of incidental products.
In June, Bella Day Spa will open an upscale 3,570-square-foot hair and nail salon and spa. The store will offer full service beauty care, facials, waxing, pedicures and a wide selection of spa services. Bella Day Spa operates several spas in Arizona, California and Colorado.
The third spa moving into the center is the 2,500-square-foot Adam & Eve Medspa, scheduled to open late this summer.
The medspa, owned and operated by Dr. Carl Sonder and his wife, will offer aesthetic and cosmetic services, including restorative and reparative procedures. In addition to injection procedures, such as Botox, the business will offer skin resurfacing, photo-facials for youthful restoration, laser hair and tattoo removal.
Chase Bank will fill another vacancy with a new 2,500-square-foot branch. When it opens late this summer it will be a prototype offering a variety of high-tech features for customers.
Scottsdale North Marketplace is located near some of the Northeast Valley’s most exclusive residential developments, including The Boulders, Whisper Rock, Legend Trail, Bellasera, Terravita, Desert Highlands, Estancia and Troon North.
The Pederson Group has developed nine shopping centers in the Scottsdale area, including Hayden Peak Crossing at Hayden Road, Thompson Peak Parkway in Grayhawk, and The Promenade, an 87-acre, 1-million-square-foot mixed-use development southeast of Frank Lloyd Wright Boulevard and Scottsdale Road.
