Business
For the first 150 years of the company, Kiehl's only ran one store with its products also selling in high-end department stores such as Neiman Marcus, Barneys, Bergdorf Goodman, Saks Fifth Avenue and Harvey Nichols. Following its acquisition by L'Oréal though, the company expanded from its one Manhattan flagship store to more than 30 stores today. Kiehl's sales have also more than quadrupled, increasing from $40 million in 2000 to past $200 million in 2009.
