Bloomingdale's to open Space NK boutiques at select stores

NEW YORK Bloomingdale's and Space NK, a British-based retail boutique founded by Nicky Kinnaird, have agreed to an exclusive multi-year arrangement to open beauty boutiques in nine Bloomingdale's locations across the country beginning in November.

"This is a powerful partnership of two brands that believe in the importance of accessible luxury," said Michael Gould, chairman and ceo of Bloomingdale's. "Together, we can offer the Bloomingdale's customer a unique shopping experience and access to top beauty brands from all over the world."

Locations slated for Bloomingdale's include the Flagship 59th Street store as well as Soho and White Plains, N.Y.; Chestnut Hill, Mass.; Sherman Oaks, Newport Beach, South Coast Plaza, Century City, and San Francisco, Calif. The square footage of each shop will range from 750 and 1,000 square feet.

The boutiques will mirror the design and feel of existing Space NK locations, offering a hand-selected mix of beauty brands.
