Mary Kay Inc. has announced that it will build its $100 million manufacturing and research and development facility on a 26.2-acre plot at the northeast corner of Denton Tap Road and Vista Ridge Mall Drive in Lewisville, Texas. Mary Kay, founded in Dallas and now a leading beauty brand in more than 35 markets around the world, identified the city of Lewisville in Denton County last November as the future site of its new facility following an exhaustive search of potential locations throughout North Texas, but had yet to name the building site publicly.
 
The beauty company is expected to break ground on the approximately 470,000 square foot building this September with a projected completion date in the first quarter of 2018.
 
"This state-of-the-art facility is being specifically designed and built to meet not only today's, but tomorrow's, challenges to ensure the future of Mary Kay in an ever-growing and changing global marketplace. I am extremely proud of our commitment to Texas and to remain competitive with 'Made in America'," said Thomas Cho, chief supply chain officer for Mary Kay Inc. "We are very excited about our innovative vision for Mary Kay's new U.S.-based global manufacturing and research and development facility."
