J.C. Penney’s successful 10-year relationship with global beauty brand Sephora is expanding. Sephora currently has over 1,780 locations in 29 countries including 370 in North America and 546 in-store shops inside J.C. Penney stores. The department store retailer announced that it will open 60 additional Sephora shops in Penney stores by June 17th. Among the new shops will be a 3000 s. ft. flagship shop located in the newly relocated Penney at Northridge Mall in Salinas, CA. It will feature a larger assortment of emerging brands, merchandise displays and expanded room for service.
When Sephora made its debut inside J.C. Penney in 2006, it was a new concept.
“J.C. Penney was one of the first department store retailers to forgo the traditional beauty counter and work with a global beauty brand to build a dynamic Sephora shop inside its stores,” Angela Swanner, senior VP for Sephora inside J.C. Penney. “Ten years and nearly 600 locations later, Sephora inside J.C. Penney has become a leading beauty destination that will continue to be a growth driver in 2016 and beyond."
The Penney-Sephora partnership isn’t limited to physical stores. Sephora also has a significant online presence on Penney’s e-commerce site.
