MUNCIE, Ind. — Recent shoppers at the Muncie Kohl's will have noticed changes under way, specifically an area inside the store blocked off for renovation and one of the exterior entrances redone to denote the addition of Sephora to the store.

Those changes are almost ready; the grand opening of Sephora inside the 1200 E Princeton Ave. Kohl's near Muncie Mall is scheduled for May 27, according to a release.

Sephora at Kohl’s features a 2,500-square-foot section of the store offering prestige makeup, skincare, hair and fragrance brands and consultations by trained beauty advisors, the release stated.

Muncie's is one of 400 Sephora at Kohl’s store openings planned nationwide this year.

This won't be Sephora's first opening in Muncie; in 2018, Sephora opened a cosmetics section inside Muncie Mall's JCPenney. The department store — by then the last remaining anchor store for the mall — closed during 2020, having reopened from its months-long pandemic closure just long enough to have a liquidation sale.
