THE WHAT? Lush has closed 15 Ukrainian stores as the advancements of Russian troops on major cities continues, according to a report by the Independent.
THE DETAILS Mark Constantine, CEO, stated that while having received messages from staff saying they are shocked but secure, Lush Ukraine Manager is said to have heard explosions not far from his home.
Speaking to the PA news agency, Constantine said, “Colleagues are letting us know exactly what it sounds like from their apartments. It’s very scary. They’ve told us attacks have started all over Ukraine. They’ve had explosions one kilometre from their homes. They’re safe but staying home and I’ve asked how we can help our staff.”
Lush has stores in Kyiv, Lviv, Odesa, Kharkiv and Zaporizhzhia, with all sites remaining closed and support being offered by Constantine.
THE WHY? The Russian invasion of Ukraine has forced many shops to close amidst growing tension.
Speaking about Lush’s Russian stores, Constantine said, “We’ve been discussing what to do with Russia. The guy who runs our Russian business is from Ukraine and none of them expected this.
“They thought it was political posturing and that they would get away without this happening, so they’ve been very surprised.”
