Sally Beauty Supply latest chain to arrive; Sequim shopping spaces filling up

SEQUIM — Sally Beauty Supply is the latest chain store with plans to join western Sequim’s shopping landscape.

The every-single-thing-for-hair-and-nails shop is slated for 1043 W. Washington St., next door to Sleep Country USA, said Sally Beauty district manager Diane Herron of Oak Harbor.

“We’ve been looking at that location for almost a year,” she added. “I think [Sally] is going to do very well there.”

Aug. 2 is the “drop-dead date,” Herron said, for opening the 1,461-square-foot store. She expects to hire one full-time manager and three or four part-time staffers.

The Texas-based Sally Beauty Supply is the largest retailer of professional beauty supplies in the world according to www.sallybeauty.com, but this is the first North Olympic Peninsula outlet, she added.

Meantime, ground-breakings for Ross Dress for Less and Grocery Outlet stores are expected this month, said Tom Lee of Madison Development in Kirkland.

The 18,089-square-foot Ross and the 27,690-square-foot Grocery Outlet will be sandwiched between Costco Wholesale and The Home Depot, just west of Ninth Avenue and West Washington Street — not far from the lavender-colored “Welcome to Sequim” sign.

Lee said he hopes to have both stores open in the first quarter of 2011.

On the nearer horizon — and farther east toward downtown — is the grand opening of the Sequim Goodwill store at 9 a.m. July 15.

Hiring is under way for the 35 to 40 job openings there, said Tacoma Goodwill Industries spokesman Matthew Erlich.

Some 200 applications came in for those jobs, he added.

Goodwill will fill the 32,000-square-foot former Rite Aid store at 680 W. Washington St., in the Safeway shopping strip, with used clothing and household items.

And the Sequim store is to be the holding center and clearinghouse for the three North Olympic Peninsula outlets, Erlich said.

The other Goodwills are at 603 S. Lincoln St. in Port Angeles and at 602 Howard St., Port Townsend.

All are under the Tacoma Goodwill Industries umbrella, and more information can be found at www.tacomagoodwill.org.

It would require the city to prove that developments in the area wouldn’t happen without the stations. The city council also would have to approve it. (Matthew Nash/Olympic Peninsula News Group)
