A handful of new retailers, including some opening their first locations in Arizona, are nearing their debut at Tempe Marketplace.

Phoenix-based Vestar, the owner and operator of the mall, located at Rio Salado Parkway and McClintock Drive, announced five new tenants, leasing a total of 25,000 square feet in the shopping center.

Carhartt, a workwear and outdoor apparel brand opened this summer at Tempe Marketplace, the retailer’s first standalone location in Arizona.

“The addition of these nationally recognized brands reinforces Tempe Marketplace’s role as a destination where shoppers can discover the latest in fashion, outdoor, and lifestyle experiences,” Taylor Alvey, vice president of leasing at Vestar, said in a statement. “We’re proud to continue curating a dynamic, high-quality mix of brands that elevates the shopping experience and reinforces Tempe Marketplace as a premier retail destination in the Valley.”

The new retailers opening this year include:

  • KUIU: A performance outdoor and hunting brand known for its apparel and outdoor gear. The brand is moving beyond direct-to-consumer sales and opening its first retail location in Arizona in the third quarter of 2026.
  • Coach: The luxury fashion brand known for leather goods, bags and purses, footwear and accessories will open a 4,500-square-foot space in late 2026.
