Grapevine shoppers are getting a fresh spot to restock their mascara and dry shampoo, with Ulta Beauty gearing up to open a new store inside Grapevine Mills this fall. The national cosmetics chain is building out roughly 6,545 square feet of space as an interior renovation, tucked inside the mall near Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport and giving locals one more beauty stop close to home and the terminal.
Details of the project appear in a filing with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. Listed as “Ulta #2102 Grapevine, TX,” the record describes an interior remodel of 6,545 square feet with an estimated construction cost of $650,790. The future store is identified as Space 128A at 3000 Grapevine Mills Parkway, with work slated to start May 15 and wrap up Sept. 21. The filing notes the project is privately financed and that the state review has been completed.
Grapevine Mills representatives confirmed the incoming Ulta to Community Impact, which reported the store is expected to debut later this year. The outlet pointed out that Ulta already has nearby locations in Southlake, Euless and Irving, positioning Grapevine Mills as a convenient beauty pit stop for shoppers from across the region. Mall officials have not offered a specific grand-opening date beyond the fall window.
What shoppers can expect
Ulta’s stores typically combine a wide mix of makeup, skin care and hair-care brands with fragrance, wellness products and in-store salons, along with a popular rewards program, according to Ulta Beauty's corporate site. That blend of products and services usually means steady traffic, whether it is quick runs for everyday essentials or scheduled salon appointments.
Mall context and local retail impact
Grapevine Mills is overseen by Simon Property Group and sits at 3000 Grapevine Mills Parkway, a short drive from DFW. The incoming Ulta joins a lineup of recent tenant changes and renovations tracked by Community Impact, suggesting mall managers are continuing to refresh the center’s offerings. Retailers and regulars alike will be keeping an eye on whether the beauty chain brings a bump in weekday shoppers and out-of-town visitors.
Permitting documents indicate the interior build-out runs through Sept. 21, according to the TDLR project record, which lines up with the mall’s stated fall timeline. An official opening date and hiring information have not yet been released, so would-be Ulta shoppers will need to watch for updates from the company or Grapevine Mills.
