Starting May 1, J.C.Penney Co. Inc. is expanding its in-store partnership with Sephora, introducing Sephora to 25 additional J.C. Penney stores. Since the exclusive partnership began in 2006, more than 500 J.C. Penney stores feature a full-service Sephora offering.

In addition to these openings, J.C. Penney will expand its square footage of Sephora inside 6 of  its existing locations to an average of 3000 sq. ft. J.C. Penney hopes the expansion to new and smaller markets, as well as its growth of current space, will expand J.C. Penney’s reach as a destination for beauty.

“Sephora is one of the most powerful and exciting beauty concepts in the world, and we want to leverage that reputation to drive the growth of Sephora inside J.C. Penney,” said Ivy Spargo, senior VP and general merchandise manager for Sephora inside J.C. Penney. “With the addition of these locations, we are providing clients with a unique and compelling in-store beauty experience, while generating a wealth of cross shopping appeal.”
