Amorepacific’s Innisfree to Exit US Market

The K-beauty giant announced Friday that it will shutter all Innisfree stores in North America beginning Saturday, citing the pandemic, The Korea Times reports.

The affordable beauty brand, which opened its first store in New York in September 2017, will continue to be sold through Sephora outlets. It’s not the only brand under the Amorepacific umbrella that’s struggling: Etude House, another one of the conglomerate’s high street offerings, is facing capital impairment and began shuttering stores after sales peaked in 2014.

The move is consistent with Amorepacific’s stated intention to focus on digital channels over its physical footprint. Last week, the group reported that its first-quarter earnings increased by almost 90 percent year-on-year on the back of online and strong overseas sales growth in markets like China.
