Ultа Beаuty is а specialty beauty retailer that оffers a wide range оf cоsmetics, skincare, and hair products from both mass-market and prestige brands, along with its own private label. Founded in 1990 and headquartered in Bolingbrook, Illinois, the company operates through nearly 1,500 physical stores, which also feature full-service salons offering hair, skin, and brow services. Ulta Beauty also maintains a significant online presence through its e-commerce website and mobile app. Ulta Beauty has its own comprehensive supply chain system, which includes regional distribution centers, market fulfillment centers, and fast fulfillment centers, supported by advanced technology and automation. The company has undergone a major transformation to make its supply chain more agile, efficient, and technology-driven to better serve both its physical stores and its e-commerce operations. Ulta operated 13 distribution facilities totaling over 6.5 million square feet, which are critical for efficiently supplying its fleet of nearly 1,400 stores. Since its founding, Ulta Beauty’s primary footprint has been in the United States. Entering any new market would mean going head-to-head with established, well-funded incumbents. In Canada, it would be Sephora; in the UK, it would be Boots, Space NK, and Sephora; and in new Asian markets, a host of strong local and international players. In July 2025, Ulta Beauty announced it was acquiring the British retailer Space NK. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. Rumors that Space NK was courting buyers had swirled for more than a year — the company had streamlined itself, selling off its US operations in 2024, whilst also investing in elaborate new stores. Within the new deal structure, Space NK will become a subsidiary of the US retailer and will operate stores independently. In the announcement, the company highlighted the need for flexible coordination to maintain consistency across different locations of Ulta Beauty in terms of brand and reputation. Meanwhile, Ulta Beauty plans to offer 35 of its successful United States-based existing brands across all markets, while also paying tribute to each area’s culture, traditions, and communities. Ulta Beauty’s choice to snap up Space NK demonstrates its commitment to expanding its global footprint. The retailer is preparing to launch its joint venture with Groupo Axo in Mexico in August and has reached a licensing agreement with Alshaya Group in the Middle East, with stores slated to open in Dubai and Kuwait by year-end. Ulta Beauty plans to offer 35 of its successful United States-based existing brands across all markets, while also highlighting local brands and ingredients, paying tribute to each area’s culture, traditions, and communities.
