A high street favourite is preparing to shut five more shops for good in the next few weeks. Body Shop has closed multiple locations since the chain went into administration last year, but new closing sales are underway as five more will shutter soon. The next branches to close will shut their doors for good on January 15.
Locations in Exeter, Plymouth, Horsham, Norwich and Sheffield will close next week, disappointing loyal customers of over 40 years. The Castle Street, Norwich location was open for 44 years, and the Orchard Square branch in Sheffield operated for more than 30.
Nostalgia will surround The Castle Street store in Norwich as it prepares to close after an impressive 44-year history. But it’s not all bad news – many locations will remain open for the foreseeable future. Anita Roddick and her husband Gordon founded The Body Shop in 1976 as one of the first companies to focus on ethically produced cosmetics and skincare.
The business’s current owners, European private equity firm Aurelius, only took over in January 2024 after buying it from Brazilian cosmetics giant Natura & Co for £207 million. Get in touch with our news team by emailing us at webnews@metro.co.uk. For more stories like this, check our news page.
