A new Lush store is opening at The Glades in Bromley today, with the first customers to receive a free bath bomb and special surprises for the first 100 customers.

Bromley’s new Lush Store is set to open at 12pm and will be located on the ground floor within Unit 15, which was formerly occupied by Monsoon and Accessorize, with 118 square metres of space.

The new store will replace the former location on the second floor, where Lush has been located since it opened in Bromley.

To mark the opening, customers who visit on opening day will receive a free Toby’s Magic Cow bath bomb to take home, and the first 100 customers will also receive a welcome goodie bag featuring a bath bomb, shower gel and samples of Lush’s most popular products.

Lush was first founded in 1994 by Mark Constantine, with an ethos to create fresh and handmade products ranging from haircare to bath bombs and bubble bars, which the brand is famous for championing.

The brand is also known for its campaign work surrounding human and animal rights, particularly on fighting against animal testing with a cruelty-free product line.

The larger store space will also allow for more flexibility for party bookings, with Lush offering a range of parties where children can try their hand at making their own bath bombs and learn more about the products, with prices starting from £25 a person.

Speaking on the relocation, store manager Tara said that the new store would enable the Lush Bromley team to “amplify” various charitable projects and community work, through campaigns and events that would “give back to the community.”

Store Manager Tara said: “This expansion will of course also bring the long-awaited desire of our customers for an extended range of products, and we’re as excited as they are for more Lush on our doorsteps.

“Our store will continue to highlight all the incredible campaigns Lush are involved in and as always, give back to the community.

“The larger store will enable us to further amplify these impactful initiatives through campaigns and exciting events.”

Lush has also advised customers to expect queues during the initial opening, however customers who are unable to queue for health reasons are advised to speak to staff on the day.

The new Lush store will be located in Unit 15 of the Glades, opposite The Apple Store, and will be open on Monday - Saturday between 9am and 7pm and Sunday from 11am - 5pm.
