is lush a franchise
LUSH is a UK cosmetics company that was incorporated in 1994 and promotes its products as luxury, vegan, and eco-friendly. Today it has 600 stores in 43 countries, including a North American division. The company started campaigning publicly on a laundry list of environmental, animal, and human rights issues in 2006. Unfortunately, LUSH s parent company, located in the UK, has chosen to promote the OneWorld--Freedom for Palestine song project.
Lush is a privately owned company with a small number of shares available on an invitation basis only. The company's growth is based mainly upon partnerships. The company also owned the B Never Too Busy To Be Beautiful brand, which had outlets in Poole, Leeds, Covent Garden, and Oxford Street. Lush announced in 2009 that B would cease trading, saying the company has NOT gone bust or bankrupt and there are no administrators involved, we are simply unable to make a profit.
