Wesley Chapel’s retail game is about to level up. The Shops at Wiregrass is set to add nine new luxury retailers, including Lululemon and Kendra Scott, as part of a leasing push aimed at drawing higher-spending shoppers to Pasco County. The shift could bring dozens of new retail jobs and a refreshed mix along the busy SR‑56 corridor north of Tampa.
The new tenants were first detailed on April 16, with the center expected to debut nine luxury retailers and specifically calling out Lululemon and Kendra Scott, according to the Tampa Bay Business Journal. The outlet frames the additions as part of a broader leasing strategy at The Shops at Wiregrass and, so far, offers the clearest public rundown of brands and timing.
TriGate Capital, which bought the center in 2023, has been pushing a property refresh that includes renovated common spaces and new tenants, as previously reported by Business Observer. The Shops at Wiregrass spans 760,379 square feet as an open-air lifestyle center in Wesley Chapel, according to a CBRE leasing brochure. That combination of fresh owner investment and a sizable local trade area has put Wiregrass on the radar for brands looking to grow beyond core Tampa.
Brands, hires and timeline
Not every opening date is public yet, but hiring has already started in the background. A FashionJobs recruitment post for Kendra Scott lists a Shops at Wiregrass location and notes the store "is scheduled to open June 2026," according to FashionJobs. Lululemon has maintained a seasonal or pop-up presence at the center and appears on store locators for the Wiregrass address, suggesting the brand could settle into a permanent footprint, per lululemon. Together, those clues point to openings and staffing ramp-ups unfolding over the coming months.
Why Pasco?
Wesley Chapel’s population boom and steady housing growth have made the SR‑56 corridor a magnet for national retailers. A CBRE leasing brochure highlights a young, relatively affluent trade area with rising discretionary income and thousands of new homes in the pipeline, while local outlets have tracked new apartment and medical projects sprouting up around Wiregrass. More rooftops, weekday traffic from nearby hospitals, and sports facilities all give brands reasons to test larger formats in Pasco. For retailers, Wiregrass offers a suburban alternative to central Tampa that still reaches high-value shoppers.
What shoppers and workers can expect
For shoppers, that likely means more activewear, jewelry and lifestyle boutiques sprinkled across the center as the new leases come to life. On the jobs side, help wanted posts tied to the mall, from ice cream scoops to retail leads, are already live on job boards, suggesting a staggered schedule of local hiring, according to Snagajob and a Fabletics job posting. Mall management and the brands named did not immediately respond to requests for comment. For now, the Tampa Bay Business Journal list remains the most detailed public look at which luxury names are headed to Wiregrass.
