Early Friday morning, May 10, Kohl's associates and Salina Area Chamber of Commerce members gathered around the department store's newest feature — a small Sephora store.
Across the aisle from racks of clothing, shelves now stand stocked with colorful shampoo bottles, various skincare products and tubes of makeup for Salina shoppers to browse.
"Our amazing associates and myself are extremely excited to have Kohl's partnered with Sephora," said Kohl's Store Manager Ashley Muehlberg. "[We] welcome all these great new products that both companies have to offer to this amazing community."
The new storefront sits near the entrance of Kohl's, making it a hard-to-miss feature of the shopping center.
With the backdrop of the familiar black and white branding that decorates the popular beauty store, Muehlberg snipped the red ribbon celebrating Sephora's opening for business.
Chamber of Commerce Events and Community Initiatives Director Stephanie Gillig said she couldn't wait to shop around the new store after the celebration.
"We have such a great team here, and we are very excited," Muehlberg said.
Associates served donuts and small bottles of water for the ceremony.
