The Body Shop shuts down all US operations, closes multiple stores in Canada amid bankruptcy

Why is The Body Shop shutting down in the US?

Despite having around 3,000 stores worldwide, The Body Shop has faced numerous setbacks in the past few years. In 2023, the company announced that it was near bankruptcy in the UK due to poor Christmas sales. In the statement released March 1, the company announced that its US subsidiary, “The Body Shop US Limited, has ceased operations.”

The Body Shop further revealed in the statement that it is currently undergoing “restricting procedures” in Canada and will shut down 33 of its stores. “All of The Body Shop Canada’s 105 store locations are currently open for business, however online sales via Canada’s ecommerce store will stop and certain stores noted below will close in the near term,” the statement added.
