Lush fans, rejoice! Scotland’s biggest Lush store has officially opened in Glasgow, which also means it is the first Lush anchor store. Guests can expect a “global flagship experience with experiential concepts“, as well as an in-store coffee shop. So, not only are visitors able to stock up on all their favourite bath and body products, but also grab a wee hot drink in a marvellously smelling cafe!
Located on Buchanan Street, the new Lush Glasgow is in an iconic building that extends over the basement, ground and three upper floors, totalling 20,000 square feet, in one of the “very few island sites” on Scotland’s busiest streets. Now that’s what we call a massive store!
The opening day of Lush Glasgow
The store opened its doors on December 8 at 11am, welcoming excited customers for years to come. What is more, on the opening day, the first 250 customers received a welcome surprise bag of products to mark the grand opening.
The store is run by Magz Macphee-David, who will be joined by a diverse team of 160 members from over 15 countries, with the ability to speak more than 10 languages on the shop floor.
Magz Macphee-David said: “We are so excited to get ready to open our anchor store placing customer experience and shop floor experience at the heart of everything we do. We have a talented group of staff in our store and across Scotland who are ready to take the next step in their career and serve our community who really deserve this new large space.”
Within the store, guests can expect beauty services with space for a Lush Shampoo Bar, Lush Parties, latest products and skin and hair care consultations.
The in-store coffee shop
And now, onto the coffee shop. The cafe is hosted by the beloved Glasgow name Plant Blonde, a plant-based bakery and cafe.
Jennifer Walls, Plant Blonde said: “Marc and I are extremely grateful for this amazing opportunity to work with such an ethical brand that shares the same values. Lush is such a fantastic welcoming, experience-driven place and we enjoy every moment spent there. We can’t wait to share the speciality coffee and freshly baked cakes every day with the team at Lush and everyone now in the city centre of Glasgow!”
