Sephora to return to UK with plans for a flagship store and website

By Nagasunder in UK Business News, posted October 10, 2022

Sephora will reopen stores in the United Kingdom after closing them in 2005.

Sephora, which paid £135 million for Feelunique last year, will rename the company's website Sephora.co.uk on Monday, October 17.

The company plans to open a flagship store in London next spring.

The store will offer the same in-store beauty expertise and experiences that have helped the retailer become so popular in North America and other countries.

The website, which will be linked to the Sephora app, will provide UK customers with access to the beauty retailer's extensive product line.

The products range from makeup to fragrance, skincare, haircare, and wellness, with well-known brands such as Drunk Elephant, Summer Fridays, and Fenty.

Sephora Collection, Tarte Cosmetics, and One/Size by Patrick Starrr will also be available on the site, all of which are currently unavailable in the UK.

Feelunique's reward programme will be retained but renamed following the Sephora acquisition, with customers receiving £5 off for every £75 spent, among other benefits.
