Biltmore Fashion Park will unveil UNION— an inspired collection of 18 local, independent retailers gathered under one roof on Friday, November 9. Located on the east end of the Center between Stringray Sushi and Seasons 52, UNION will offer an exciting mix of small, distinctive boutiques ranging in size from 200-500 square feet, as well as the new causal eatery, Trattoria del Piero from The Queen Creek Olive Mill.

UNION will include everything from women’s activewear and vintage-inspired clothing to jewelry, distinctive gifts, handmade papers, signature olive oils and even a custom furniture maker and Arizona’s only micro-haberdashery. A florist, bicycle shop, eyewear collection and bake shop round out the eclectic, local mix.

Of UNION’s 18 separate concepts, two are start-up businesses: All the rest are new iterations of exceptionally successful already established independent stores across Phoenix.

Central to the UNION experience is an outdoor patio that will be activated with live music, chef demonstrations, tastings- even a bi-monthly farmers market—all designed to engage the local community.

Grand opening festivities kick off on Friday, November 9 and continue through November 11 with activities for the entire family. For more information about UNION and grand opening events, please visit shopbiltmore.com.
