'The Body Shop' shuts down all US operations, closes dozens of stores in Canada
The Body Shop has shut down all of its US-based operations and will be closing dozens of Canadian store locations as it files for bankruptcy.
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?

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.

It’s still a strong brand name. I’ll be surprised if no one swoops in to buy it and start selling their products in other retail stores.
20 0 ReplyLooks like it's just their American and Canadian stores that are affected according to this article.
8 1 ReplyI 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.
