Sephora Opening Locations This Summer At Kohl's In New Hampshire

The makeup retailer will have stores in six locations in NH, including Bedford, Nashua, Newington, Plaistow, Salem, and West Lebanon.

NEWINGTON, NH — Makeup retailer Sephora will soon open locations in six New Hampshire stores. The sites will be situated inside some existing Kohl's clothing stores.

Each Sephora at Kohl's will span 2,500 square feet at the front of the store. This area will mimic a stand-alone Sephora, featuring a similar appearance and inventory.

Employees will offer beauty consultations to recommend skin, hair, and fragrance products. Customers can test these items to see what best fits their style.

“We’ve always had the intention to keep the Sephora at Kohl’s beauty assortment as relevant and similar to our freestanding Sephora stores as possible,” said Artemis Patrick, Sephora’s executive vice president and global chief merchandising officer. "We want every customer who comes to Sephora at Kohl’s to be able to discover new brands and find their favorites, just like they do at our other Sephora stores."

Last fall, Kohl's launched its partnership with Sephora, opening 200 locations in the first batch. The clothing chain said this was successful, so it is adding more Sephora sites.
