“Since Target and Ulta Beauty partnered, our shop-in-shops have delivered more prestige beauty brands and industry-leading expertise to more guests,” Christina Hennington, executive vice president and chief growth officer at Target, said. “In stores where we’ve added an Ulta Beauty experience, guests are buying incremental items from the assortment while continuing to shop the beauty brands they’ve loved at Target for years, and adding more to their baskets in complementary categories. With these strong results, we remain committed to operating at least 800 Ulta Beauty at Target locations over time, with plans to add more than 250 new locations in 2022.”
Currently, Ulta Beauty at Target shops offer shoppers more than 50 carefully curated skin, makeup and hair care brands that include Too Faced, The Ordinary and Ariana Grande fragrances.
