Full list of Bodycare shops to shut this week after failing to secure a buyer

All remaining Bodycare shops will shut this week, after the beauty chain’s administrators failed to secure a buyer to keep it on Britain’s high streets.

The chain is set to vanish from Britain’s high streets, with administrators confirming the closure of all 56 remaining stores, leading to approximately 450 redundancies. The beauty retailer entered administration earlier this month, failing to secure a buyer for its UK chain.

Advisory firm Interpath, overseeing the administration, stated that this inability to find a purchaser necessitated the difficult decision to cease trading. Bodycare, established in Lancashire in 1970, specialised in beauty products, fragrances, and various bathroom essentials.

Its outlets were a familiar sight in shopping centres and high streets nationwide. The final closures are anticipated by Saturday, affecting all 444 employees across the stores, who will now face redundancy.
