If you’ve strolled through the Arndale recently, you may have noticed the signs for the new Sephora that is set to open later this year. The beauty retailer launched its first store in the north in the Trafford Centre<\/a> in May of last year and its grand opening was so successful, queues backed all the way up into the car park.<\/p>\n

Until now, the opening date of the Arndale store has been kept quietly under wraps. But the Manchester Evening News can exclusively reveal it will open its doors to the public on Friday, August 1 2025.<\/p>\n

It is set to take over 4,618 square feet on the lower ground of the Arndale next to other beauty giant, Superdrug. The unit used to be home to the H&M-owned fashion retailer, Monki, which shuttered back in January after occupying the space for almost seven years.<\/p>\n
