Paris Presents Expands

Paris Presents Incorporated, a distributor of branded cosmetic and bath accessories to mass merchants, drug stores, food and online retailers, has expanded to a new office space in Chicago. Located in the heart of the River North neighborhood, the facility, known as the Beauty Insight Center, will house employees from the marketing, innovation and sales teams.


The opening of the Beauty Insights Center marks the company's fourth office location. Headquartered in Gurnee, IL, Paris Presents also has offices in Arkansas and the UK. Paris Presents' flagship brands include Real Techniques, EcoTools and Body Benefits by Body Image with products sold throughout the US and in over 50 international markets.


“Over the last three years, we have seen unprecedented double-digit growth and the Beauty Insight Center will allow us to further foster creativity and accelerate our brands,” said CEO Patrick O'Brien. “Nestled amongst Chicago's vibrant background, top destinations and diverse economy, the new office allows us to attract and retain top talent, develop strong business partnerships and provide an inspirational and collaborative environment for employees.”


Earlier this month, Paris Presents earned a spot on the 2015 Inc. 5000 list of fastest growing companies in the US. Ranking is determined by annual revenue growth over the past three years. In 2014, Paris Presents was named the Fastest Growing Health and Beauty Company in the US under $1 billion (BCG/IRI).


The Beauty Insight Center at 212 West Superior is designed as an open, loft concept, featuring exposed brick walls, original wood beams and an abundance of bright, natural light. The flexible 3,000 square foot space provides multiple venues for internal and external meetings.  With a long-term lease commitment and option to expand, Paris Presents plans to maintain a presence in Chicago as its flagship beauty brands continue to grow.
