"We can’t wait to see Lush’s enhanced store at Manchester Arndale" - Lush to open today after massive revamp
Today at 12:00 pm, Lush Arndale will be opening its doors to reveal its shiny new makeover after almost 20 years in the shopping centre, launching the 2025 Lush Christmas collection 4 days earlier than the other UK&I stores and giving the first 100 queuing, paying customers an exclusive free goodie bag.
Not only will Lush treat visitors with early access to the 2025 Christmas collection but in celebration of the store’s refit, the first 100 paying customers will be given a free exclusive goodie bag containing Lush-favourite products on the day of the opening. The team will hand out tickets to secure the goodie bag to the 100 first customers queuing.
It’s fun party vibes all week long with local drag artists performing on the opening day and bath bomb-making workshops on offer throughout the opening week, so everyone can get hands-on and become their very own Lush Compounder.
Customers can book via Eventbrite.
Chloe Dudek, Lush Arndale store manager said: “I’m currently in the process of moving from Lush Preston over to Lush Arndale to start my new position as store manager, and what a time to start! Having gone through a reopening in a previous store earlier this year, I know just how exciting this time can be, and it’s more than amplified just for the sheer size of Lush Arndale.
The new refit is going to breathe so much life and fun into an already thriving store, and the Arndale centre itself. The team has been doing such an amazing job at getting everything ready and organised and I can’t thank them enough. We have plenty of tricks up our sleeves for the grand re-opening that shouldn’t be missed and I believe it’s going to go down as one of the best in Lush history.”
Manchester Arndale customers will experience their local Lush store like never before, as the newly refurbished shop will reveal a “Fragrance Greenhouse” hosting new Autumn, Halloween and Christmas perfumes, home fragrance and offering a brand-new complimentary fragrance reading service. The new design includes an entire area dedicated to Christmas city-favourite Snow Fairy - Greater Manchester visitors buy 13,600 Snow Fairy bath bombs per year and 15,800 Snow Fairy shower gel bottles!
David Allinson, Centre Director at Manchester Arndale, said: “We can’t wait to see Lush’s enhanced store at Manchester Arndale. As one of our longer term occupiers, Lush has been a popular favourite amongst our shoppers over the past 20 years. Its vibrant array of products and amazing promotions throughout the year mean customers continue to come back for more, and we look forward to supporting them with their reopening event.
“This investment by Lush in their space at Manchester Arndale highlights how our brands continue to evolve to meet changing customer needs. It also showcases how leading retailers are choosing Manchester Arndale for their flagship stores to help attract shoppers who visit the centre from across the North West and beyond.”
The store welcomes a brand new makeup counter featuring Lush’s cruelty-free and vegan Firework collection, so customers can explore the brand’s innovative range designed to fit all makeup routines and skin types. With tailored skincare, haircare and fragrance consultations on offer there’s something for everyone to enjoy at Lush Arndale.
Customers can also get their hands on a city-exclusive Bee tote bag, with 50% of sales (minus tax) going directly to Real Change MCR, to help people experiencing homelessness in Manchester.
