Sephora opens first-ever small store format in Vancouver

Sephora Canada is set to open its first-ever small store format in Kitsilano, Vancouver, on June 5.

Located in one of Vancouver’s most vibrant and wellness-focused communities, the Kitsilano store has been tailored to fit the rhythm of local shopping districts while maintaining the immersive, multi-brand experience that has become synonymous with Sephora.

Spanning just over 2,000 square feet, the store offers a carefully curated assortment of beauty brands across skincare, makeup, fragrance and haircare. Shoppers will find products from sought-after names including Glow Recipe, Haus Labs, Kayali, Kérastase, Makeup by Mario, Merit Beauty, Rare Beauty, Rhode and Sol de Janeiro, alongside Sephora-exclusive collections.

“We know that beauty is an inherently personal and experiential category, where customers want to touch, test, discover, and connect with experts before they buy,” said Thomas Haupt, country general manager, Sephora Canada. 

“Our new small store format lets us bring the best of Sephora into communities like Kitsilano in a way that feels curated, convenient, and reflective of the neighbourhood. “It’s about meeting clients where they already live and spend their time, making Sephora part of their everyday.”

The new location marks Sephora Canada’s 147th store nationwide and reflects the company’s evolving approach to neighbourhood retail, designed to bring beauty discovery and expert guidance closer to where consumers live and shop.
