Leading Australian online beauty retailer Adore Beauty has taken a bold step into physical retail by launching its first-ever store at Westfield Southland shopping center in Melbourne. The move marks a significant milestone in the brand’s evolution from a purely digital platform to a full-fledged omnichannel business.
This expansion is part of Adore Beauty’s ambitious strategy, announced last year, aiming to drive 30% revenue growth and double its EBIT margin within three years. A key element of this strategy includes establishing more than 25 brick-and-mortar stores across Australia, bringing Adore Beauty’s premium selection of skincare, makeup, and wellness products directly to customers.
"Felt goosebumps today witnessing our online brand come to life offline in spectacular style. Our very first store at Westfield Southland is a truly exciting and fresh beauty retail experience lit up by a carefully curated selection of our amazing brands. It’s just the beginning of a national store roll-out and couldn’t have asked for a better start," said Dan Ferguson, CMO at Adore Beauty.
