US-based retail chain Walmart has partnered with British retailer Space NK to launch prestige beauty products across Walmart’s online and retail stores.
Named BEAUTYSPACENK, the collaboration will make use of Walmart’s size and scale and Space NK’s assortment of beauty brands and products.
Available products will include more than 600 offerings from 15 brands across four categories, namely skincare, make-up, haircare and bath and body.
The companies said these products have been specially selected for Walmart’s customers and will be available on Walmart’s website from 15 March.
They will be launched to nearly 250 Walmart stores in the US later this year, allowing customers to shop for both beauty staples and ‘prestige’ speciality items.
Space NK CEO Andy Lightfoot said: “We are delighted to partner with Walmart to bring prestige beauty to customers across the United States, delivered through our unique model that makes it easy to connect brands with shoppers.
