SEPHORA

Sephora is a popular franchise that is very well known. It was founded 53 years ago in Paris, France. The brand focuses on personal care and beauty products. When it was first starting out as a small business the company was sold to Dominique Mandonnaud. He had already acquired his own perfume line and wanted to merge it with the Sephora brand. He then continued expanding the brand after seeing some success with the current store he had. He then opened a second store in Paris and then began to focus on globalization. Sephora now owns 2,300 stores across 33 countries.
