Orem— University Place, a 120-acre mixed-use development, today announced the addition of five new stores to the shopping center, which include Cotopaxi, DM Fashion, Bronxton, Barber League, and Lisa’s Passion For Popcorn.

“For many of these businesses, this is the first store located in Utah County, enabling their online customers a chance to experience the brand and product in person without having to drive north,” said Randy Woodbury, CEO and president of Woodbury Corporation. “At University Place our focus is to offer customers a new and unique experience every time they visit — whether they are here to live, work, shop, dine or participate in one of our many events.”

Each new store will be opening during the fourth quarter of this year, giving shoppers in Utah County and beyond more options and a greater shopping experience, at a convenient time as the holiday season approaches.

“We couldn’t be more excited to open up our newest Cotopaxi store at University Place,” said Davis Smith, founder and CEO of Cotopaxi. “Cotopaxi’s earliest roots are in the Provo/Orem area where we laid the groundwork for our brand. BYU and UVU students were our earliest supporters and brand evangelists.”

Below is more information on each store that either has, or will soon be opening its doors:
