Two sisters from Nogales will bring their passion for fashion to Tucson next year.
Edna Mendoza and Denise Lopez leased 1,120 square feet at The Plaza at Williams Centre, 5480 E. Broadway, and plan to open Apricot Lane Boutique.
“We’ve always talked about doing something together and started looking at franchise options,” Mendoza said. “We love fashion, but they also have a strong social and giving-back-to-the-community mindset.”
She said the company encourages franchisees to host events or participate in fundraising efforts for school uniforms and such.
The boutique will carry women’s apparel and costume jewelry, offering outfits from casual to date night with personalized attention.
Mendoza now lives in Tucson and Lopez in Tubac.
The location at The Williams Centre was familiar to them.
“Our grandparents lived near that area,” Mendoza said, “and we were with them all the time.”
The landlord, Larsen Baker, was represented by its broker Isaac Figueroa, and Jeremy Wright of Fischer represented the tenants.
The boutique is expected to open in the spring.
