Lush closes UK stores for a day in protest over Gaza
The Independent
|September 04, 2025
Toiletries chain Lush yesterday closed all its UK shops for a day “in solidarity with Gaza” and called on the UK government to act to help end “the death and destruction”.
The shop famous for its strongly scented soaps and bath bombs said it would not open its stores yesterday and would keep its website closed to “send into Gaza our love and a strong message that we stand in solidarity". The company has more than 100 shops in the UK and Ireland, whose windows display the slogan “Stop starving Gaza”.
Bosses estimated they would lose around £350,000 in sales for the day, and they would also have to cover staff wages bills amounting to another £300,000.
Instead of its usual home page, the Lush website consists of a black page, with the same message and “We are closed in solidarity” in capitals.
