Sephora is launching its third UK store in Manchester, as it seeks to expand in the North of England.
The shop is set to open in summer 2024 in Manchester’s Trafford Centre, after the business launched its first two stores in London in March and November this year.
The cosmetics retailer insisted the store will “redefine the beauty landscape in the North with an extraordinary product range”.
Sephora claimed the store will bring “the best in beauty” featuring various exclusive brands, including Glossier and Makeup by Mario.
The site will feature a 5,382 sq ft sales floor, providing “an immersive and unparalleled shopping experience for beauty enthusiasts in the North”.
