The print industry is suffering but the beauty industry is forever. ULTA Beauty provides one-stop shopping for prestige, mass and salon products and salon services.

Palm Coast, FL – August 11, 2014 – The space at Palm Coast Landings (AKA Target Shopping Center) vacated by Books-A-Million’s recent closing will be filled soon.
