Sephora announces opening date for new store in Liverpool ONE

Following the successful launch of stores across the North East, including Newcastle’s Eldon Square and Gateshead Metrocentre, Sephora UK has confirmed its continued northern expansion with the opening of a new store at Liverpool ONE.

Sephora will open its doors on 22 May 2025, marking the brand’s first location in Liverpool and its eighth in the UK.

This opening is part of Sephora UK’s growing physical retail presence, which includes stores at Westfield London, Westfield Stratford City, Manchester’s Trafford Centre, Birmingham’s Bullring, Bluewater in Kent, and most recently, the North East. The new Liverpool store will be located in the heart of the city centre at Landsec’s Liverpool ONE, a leading retail and entertainment destination.

Talking of the expansion into Liverpool, Sephora UK’s MD Sarah Boyd said:

“In the UK we now seven stores in five regions, and I’m thrilled to share that the first new store opening of 2025 will be at Liverpool ONE! We have had immense demand from our fans in Liverpool to open a store in their wonderful city, and we are excited to have found the perfect location. We have been connecting with local beauty lovers and cultural / thought leaders across the region, and have been blown away by the remarkable warmth, support and energy we have received from everyone. Liverpool truly is a city that takes great pride in its commitment to community, diversity and celebrating its rich and vibrant history. Liverpool has been a key location in our brand expansion plans, and we were prepared to wait for the right opportunity, which our amazing Liverpool ONE location provides! It was in fact one of the first cities we visited when we were planning our UK launch, as we know how vibrant and exciting the local beauty community is. As we prepare to welcome both new and existing customers, we are looking forward to creating an incredible shopping experience in an exciting store format that reflects the spirit of the city.”
