The well-regarded health and beauty retailer, Bodycare, is about to shut down 32 of its stores throughout the UK, including those that cater to the Lincolnshire community. This move arises as the firm enters administration, causing 450 staff members to lose their jobs. Noted for its cost-effective cosmetics and beauty items, Bodycare has been a significant part of many consumers’ lives, providing popular products at a discounted price. However, with a nationwide network of 147 physical stores, the increasing expenses of property rental and staff payments have left the company struggling to maintain its operations. As the retail industry continues to grapple with issues, Lincolnshire’s local customers may soon be required to find different sources for their beauty needs.
