The Body Shop to Close 75 UK Stores, Cutting Nearly 500 Jobs

The iconic beauty retailer's UK operations face a major downsizing as it enters administration, with plans to keep 116 stores open.

Nearly 500 employees will be made redundant as The Body Shop shuts down 75 stores across the UK.
The closures are part of a restructuring effort aimed at stabilizing the business and ensuring its long-term sustainability.
Affected staff are encouraged to seek support through the government's redundancy payments service.
The Body Shop's administration follows a period of poor sales and challenges in the competitive beauty market.
The restructuring does not impact The Body Shop's global operations, which continue to trade as normal.
