3 new shops opening in downtown Tampa
Three new retailers are moving into downtown, including a luxury salon in Park Tower, a niche perfume store in studio K and an interior design lab at the base of SkyPoint.
As downtown Tampa grows as a work-live-play environment, new residential and commercial properties will soon include three new shops designed to take care of the personal needs of residents, workers and visitors.
Pearl Salon
Pearl Salon is aiming to be an oasis for clients with 4,200 square feet in Park Tower at 400 North Tampa Street. The salon will offer nail care, waxing, eyelash extensions and massages as well as a blow dry bar for professionals on the run.
The owner of Pearl Salon, Kim Nguyen, an entrepreneur from Miami, strategically picked the downtown location.
“There are so many workers in the downtown area, as well as the University of Tampa, however, there is currently nowhere for people to get their beauty treatments done,” she says.
The $700,000 investment will create at least 25 jobs according to Nguyen. It is scheduled to open in early June.
Uncommon Finds
Uncommon Finds is a niche perfume storefront that enables customers to discover unique scents.
“Niche perfumes are a growing product,” says owner Rob Atkins, a self-acclaimed ‘scent junkie.’
“They are much different from your typical perfume, which only has one layer of scent; ours has three, so if you put some on in the morning you should still smell it in the evening. Also we use essential oils in our product, as opposed to synthetic ingredients found in other perfumes, therefore those who have allergies can wear our products“
The store’s 300 square feet of space will be located within Studio K, 406 N. Morgan St.
Uncommon Finds is scheduled to open in mid-June.
Doxa Design Lab and Gallery
Doxa Design Lab and Gallery is approximately 500 square feet of interior design services.
“We are offering full interior design services, fine art as well as custom upholstery, vintage furnishings home accents, lighting, art and design books, textiles and industrial designs created by renowned architects and product designers,” says Jaime Rogers, Senior Partner of Doxa. “We offer products for as little as $30, or as much as $20,000.”
Doxa’s opening will create jobs including a general manager, part-time bookkeeper and part-time design assistant.
The Gallery will be located at the base of SkyPoint, 777 North Ashley Drive. It also is expected to open in June.
