It will include an education-focused wall, gondolas, end caps and a sampling table, all staffed by specially trained wellness advisors. “This is much larger [than our existing Wellness Shop]: It’ll be about 475 square feet in the store, which is a significant experience [for Ulta]. And it will have some space for guests to be able to really explore and navigate in a way that gives them that sense of calm and peace throughout the store,” Beres said. The boutiques will be located in Columbus, Ohio; Short Pump, Virginia; Peabody, Massachusetts; and Naperville, Illinois. Beres joined the Glossy Beauty Podcast to discuss the launch, how brands can participate, and what’s coming next for Ulta Beauty’s continued wellness expansion. Listen in now, then learn more in Glossy’s latest Ulta Strategies story on the launch.","meta_description":"Ulta Beauty is doubling down on the wellness category. “We’ve been on the journey with wellness since 2021 when we launched the wellness shop at Ulta Beau…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":1865,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-glossy-beauty-podcast-520172/episodes/ulta-beauty-s-laura-beres-talks-the-company-s-new-wellness-boutique-pilot/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-glossy-beauty-podcast-520172/ulta-beauty-s-laura-beres-talks-the-company-s-new-wellness-boutique-pilot.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
