The Body Shop is set to close nearly half of its 198 UK stores, resulting in the immediate closure of seven locations. This drastic measure comes after the retailer's British operations fell into insolvency last week. In addition to the store closures, around 270 head office jobs will be cut. The administrators have expressed hope that more than half of the company's shops can be saved, indicating a potential for business salvage despite the significant downsizing. The closures include four stores in London, specifically in Surrey Quays, Oxford Street Bond Street, Canary Wharf, and Cheapside, with others like the Nuneaton branch and one in Ashford, Kent, also shutting down today.
