Desert Ridge Marketplace is continuing to expand its retail lineup with three national brands coming to North Phoenix. Gap Factory, Ann Taylor Factory and Sierra are joining the center, bringing more than 30,000 square feet of new fashion, outdoor and value-focused retail.
Gap Factory opened its doors in September. Dating its legacy back to 1969, Gap Factory will make its debut in an 8,500-square-foot storefront at Desert Ridge. The retailer features collections for men, women, kids and babies that combine classic style with everyday comfort.
A leading women’s fashion retailer known for timeless style and modern sophistication, Ann Taylor Factory will open in a 5,000-square-foot space this November. The brand offers elevated apparel, accessories and wardrobe essentials designed to blend classic elegance with contemporary trends.
Sierra is an off-price retail brand that delivers top outdoor, fitness and lifestyle products at a great value. Opening in spring of next year in a 20,000-square-foot space, the store will feature a wide assortment of apparel, footwear, gear and home goods from leading brands, catering to adventurers, outdoor enthusiasts and value-conscious shoppers alike.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Gap Factory, Ann Taylor Factory, and Sierra to Desert Ridge Marketplace,” said Jenny Cushing, vice president of leasing at Vestar. “These additions reflect our continued focus on curating a dynamic mix of fashion, value, and lifestyle experiences that resonate with a wide range of shoppers and further strengthen the destination’s appeal in North Phoenix.”
