The Journal Sentinel business department follows developments in the local retail industry
T.J Maxx, Ulta Salon and Cosmetics, Rue 21, and Charming Charlie’s will be the first tenants in the second phase of Shoppes at Fox River, on Waukesha's southwest side.
Opus Development Corp. will break ground this month on the shopping center's addition, which eventually will total 150,000 square feet, Opus said Friday. The first part of that expansion will include more than 47,000 square feet of retail space.
The Shoppes at Fox River, 1180 W. Sunset Drive, opened in July 2009. The first phase has about 273,000 square feet, including a Target, and a Pick ‘n Save.
