A restaurant and 2 new-to-Tucson shops are opening in La Encantada this year

Two new shops and a restaurant are scheduled to open at La Encantada shopping center by the end of the year.

Rowan, a piercing studio and retailer, is scheduled to open in early December. The 696-square-foot studio will be located on the upper level of the shopping center between Kendra Scott and MAC, and will offer piercing by licensed nurses, along with hypoallergenic earrings.

Drybar, a salon and hair care retailer, will open on level two, across from Anthropologie, this winter.

“We’re excited about the steady retail leasing growth here at La Encantada,” said Toby Horvath, President of Town West Realty, “and the opportunity to bring some popular upscale stores to Tucson for the first time.”

The new restaurant, True Food Kitchen, focuses on healthy dining and was founded in Phoenix in 2008.

The menu is based on the anti-inflammatory food pyramid of Dr. Andrew Weil, doctor of integrative medicine, and founder and director of the University of Arizona’s Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine.

The restaurant will feature seasonal dishes, a new brunch program, natural beverages, clever cocktails and happy-hour drink specials. It will be located near the shopping center’s Restaurant Circle.

These winter openings follow new retail activity that has been taking place at La Encantada throughout the year, starting with the spring and summer openings of jeans retailer Levi’s, menswear store Psycho Bunny and Western boot retailer Tecovas. The three stores are exclusively located in La Encantada.

Located on Skyline Drive at Campbell Avenue, La Encantada is an open-air shopping center with a wide selection of stores, specialty shops and restaurants.
