Founded in 1990 near Chicago, the company combined prestige and mass cosmetics under one roof with in-store salons, a format that neither department stores nor drugstores matched. The loyalty program enrolls a large majority of sales and supplies the customer data behind assortment decisions. A partnership placed shops inside Target stores. Competition intensified as Sephora expanded through Kohl's and as brands sold directly online. Headquarters are in Bolingbrook, Illinois, and results track discretionary beauty spending.
