US-based beauty retailer Ulta Beauty is due to open shop-in-shops at Target from next month as part of a long-term strategic partnership between the two companies.

Named Ulta Beauty at Target, the shop-in-shop format will occupy a dedicated space of around 1,000ft² at more than 100 Target stores across the US.

The companies expect to launch Ulta Beauty at Target in a total of 800 Target stores across the country over the coming years.

Located near Target’s existing beauty section, the store concept will offer more than 50 prestige brands in makeup, skin and hair care and other areas.

Ulta Beauty at Target will also be made available on Target’s website and mobile app.

Ulta Beauty chief operating officer Kecia Steelman said: “As the retail and beauty industries continue to evolve, we take pride in being leaders that continually redefine and elevate guest experiences.
