Sephora Store Set To Open In Wallingford Kohl’s

WALLINGFORD, CT — A new Sephora beauty store will open inside the Kohl’s store in Wallingford next week, officials announced.

The Wallingford store at 1248 South Broad Street will celebrate the grand opening of Sephora at Kohl’s on June 22.

It was announced in fall of 2021 that some select Kohl's department stores would soon include a Sephora store within a store.

When first announced, there were just two Kohl's in Connecticut that would house a Sephora. In February 2022, it was announced that another 10 would open in Connecticut.

In addition to Wallingford, Sephora at Kohl’s stores are set to open this year in Branford, Brookfield, Canton, Enfield, Groton, Lisbon, and Rocky Hill.

Sephora at Kohl's features a 2,500 square foot, fully immersive beauty experience that mimics the look and feel of a freestanding Sephora. Within all Sephora at Kohl's locations, customers can “explore the signature Sephora experience with a carefully curated assortment of prestige makeup, skincare, hair, and fragrance brands, as well as innovations in clean beauty and self-care,” according to a news release.

Sephora-trained Beauty Advisors offer personalized beauty consultations and assistance with finding products, while testing and discovery zones serve up a rotating assortment of new, emerging or trending products.

"We're thrilled to be bringing Sephora at Kohl's closer to millions more of our customers nationwide through this 400 store expansion," said Doug Howe, Kohl's chief merchandising officer, said in a news release. "The quick and vast rollout of Sephora at Kohl's is a testament to how much we believe in this partnership and making prestige beauty more accessible to people everywhere. We're excited to grow and bring this elevated beauty experience to more of Kohl's existing and new customers this year."
