A locally owned international bath and body care company is set to open its doors on the North Shore.
Lush Cosmetics is under construction in The Village at Park Royal retail expansion in West Vancouver with a planned opening on Nov. 7. "We are excited to open our first location on the North Shore and thrilled to be a part of the new Park Royal expansion," said Mark Wolverton, West Vancouver resident and president and CEO of Lush Cosmetics North America. "We're looking forward to bringing our unique in-store experience to our local customers just in time for the holiday season."
The Vancouver-based company's stores are similar to a deli concept where customers can personally choose from any number of bath and skin care products with the ability to touch and smell them. The products are all handmade with natural ingredients and use reduced packaging. Lush currently has 12 other locations across the province and 900 locations worldwide.
The store will hold a grand opening celebration on Saturday, Nov. 23.
A Lush "compounder" will be on site to handmake some products. ("Compounder" is the term Lush uses for its employees who hand-make the cosmetics.) There will be sparking cider on tap and vegan cupcakes on offer. A DJ will spin tunes and there will be gifts with purchase.
The Village expansion will also see the opening of seven other retailers in November, including Sephora, Aritzia, J.Crew and Zara. Visit shopparkroyal.com for construction updates.
