    By 2023, it had expanded to more than 2,500 retail locations in more than 80 countries and was available to purchase online in more than 60 markets.

    How have I never heard of this place before?

        Wife arrives in the house but you can’t see her yet: … honey? … Did you go to The Body Shop again?

      I think most of their locations are in malls or upscale shopping districts. So if you don’t go to the mall or upscale shopping districts you probably would never know they existed.

      Also if you are a single guy or a guy with a low maintenance lady, even less likely to know about them.

        Yep. Haven’t seen one in ten years but used to go all the time. No malls anywhere near me now.

      Looks like it’s just their American and Canadian stores that are affected according to this article.

        I was reading a different article about this last week. Apparently the UK parent already filed for bankruptcy a while back. The Canadian branch was actually doing OK, but the parent company siphoned off all profits and took them down with them.

      That’s what LUSH does. I can barely walk by the stores without it’s intense cacophony of scents assaulting my nose. It’s awful.

    Glad we stocked up on the things we used most when we heard about the UK parent company filing for bankruptcy.
