Sephora Opens in Garden City this Week

Another store opening will be celebrated in Garden City Center this week.

Sephora, a beauty, perfume and cosmetic retailer, will open its doors in the popular Cranston shopping center on July 11.

The new store will be located in what used to be the building that housed Circuit City.

The new, 5,590 square foot store will be right next to Corner Bakery Cafe.

Garden City Center announced the new Sephora store last year along with the new J. Crew store, which opened late last year.

“J. Crew and Sephora are brands that compliment and expand our retail offerings while meeting the growing demand of shoppers who are seeking fashion variety in one stop,” said Maria Salvatore, for The Wilder Companies, the management company for Garden City Center.  “As we continue to redesign and reconfigure Garden City Center we are entering into lease agreements with retailers that not only bring unique offerings for shoppers but who also recognize our unique demographic base provides them with the recipe for long-term growth."

Sephora is well known for its unique retail concept, which is rooted in its distinctive store design, the beauty expertise of its sales consultants and it's wide-ranging product line of more than 200 classic and emerging brands across a broad range of product categories including skincare, color, fragrance, bath & body, smilecare, and haircare, as well as Sephora's own private label. Sephora today has more than 800 stores within 14 countries in Europe and 30 locations in China. Sephora was founded in France in 1969 and acquired in 1997 by Paris-based LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton, the world's leading luxury products group.
