High Street branch officially opened by Stratford mayor
THE Stratford branch of the Body Shop was officially reopened after an upgrade.
The High Street branch was declared re-open by mayor Cllr Kate Rolfe on Friday (10th November). The event also included live music, tea and cake, floral displays and goody bags.
Store manager Bev Paris said: “We have had a major upgrade in store fittings and a facelift too, all of which is due to the huge success this store has achieved here in Stratford over the past seven years.
“It’s a credit to our town that customers have come out onto the high street and spent their money with a company that has ethics and values and truly got behind our refillable offering as well as doing their bit to reduce waste too.”
The Body Shop chain, it was revealed earlier this week, has been sold for £207m.
Brazilian cosmetics group Natura said it was selling “to simplify and refocus its operations.”
The brand has changed hands three times since it was sold by founder Anita Roddick in 2006 and is now owned by global private equity group, Aurelius.
