        I mean…if they REALLY wanted to make a political statement (which LUSH has done in the states in the past) they would have EVERY Lush close. Just so odd they didn’t do it. I’m assuming Lush US is under some other kind of ownership?

          Right at the end of the article.

          They also closed their uk stores so their staff could attend the 2019 climate rally in the UK. They genuinely seem to be a good corporation.

            It mentions agency staff getting paid, unless they only employ agency staff.
