Ulta Salon, Cosmetics & Fragrance hasn’t announced the number of employees it will hire in Jacksonville, but the city’s 2019 Economic Development Partner Impact Report says the Northwest Jacksonville distribution center will create 150 logistics and distribution jobs.

City Council approved legislation in January for a city grant of $1.425 million for Ulta to create 30 full-time jobs by the end of 2021 at an average salary of $46,346.

Ulta Beauty will lease 202,471 square feet of tenant space in Park 295 Industrial Park at Interstate 295 and Duval Road for a fast fulfillment center for its e-commerce beauty supplies orders. It is expected to open in summer 2020.

The 30 jobs are tied to the required annual salary. Lower-wage warehouse jobs are not counted toward that.

In addition, public documents say the company could hire 400 seasonal workers annually.

The city report was issued at the JAXUSA Partnership meeting July 30.
