  • Sephora Adding NJ Kohl's Stores, Ulta Beauty in Target; Post-COVID World Means Glow Ups David P
    WHAT'S GOING THERE Sephora adding NJ Kohl's stores, Ulta Beauty in Target; post-COVID world means glow ups David P. Willis Asbury Park Press Published 5:01 a.m. ET Apr. 13, 2021 Updated 10:08 a.m. ET Apr. 13, 2021 Are you looking forward to glamming it up again for a big wedding, shindig or crowded hot spot? Beauty retailers are hoping you'll stop by. They're counting on it. Sephora is opening more than 60 stores this year, including one sometime this summer in Marlboro Plaza on Route 9, part of what the company says is its biggest expansion ever. The company also plans to open 200 locations inside Kohl's stores, called Sephora at Kohl's, this fall. To start, 11 Kohl's stores in New Jersey — in Howell, Clifton, Hamilton Township, Hillsborough, Paramus, Ramsey, Secaucus, Turnersville, North Plainfield, Wayne and Woodland Park — will get a Sephora makeover in the front of the store, which, according to a mock-up, will include the name Sephora over an entrance. Sounding good: Online music lessons power Rock Out Loud in Marlboro to explosive COVID pandemic growth The number of Kohl's locations with Sephora's 2,500-square-foot store-within-a-store will expand to at least 850 by 2023, the companies said. Its competitor Ulta Beauty also will open more than 100 small stores inside Target, starting in 2021. A list of Target stores that are a part of the new Ulta partnership was not available. ("Stay tuned," a Target spokesperson told What's Going There.) "People are dying to get out and go to locations," said Rutgers University professor Marc Kalan, who teaches in the business of fashion program at the Rutgers School of Business in Newark and New Brunswick.
