Lush said its staff were “devastated” after the retailer’s store in Hull was attacked by looters amid a wave of violent far-right riots taking place in the country.
Lush’s Hull branch was targeted by rioters at the weekend, leaving the shop with smashed front windows and products littered across the floor, one week on from the Southport stabbings.
The retailer was one of several targeted during the unrest, with Sainsbury’s, Shoe Zone and Specsavers stores across England reporting attacks and looting.
A spokesperson for Lush said: “We are devastated at what has happened to our beautiful shop in Hull and how our fellow retailers have also been treated.
“We are proud to be part of a multiracial Britain and to be part of the wonderful, vibrant and diverse community of Hull.
“Our wonderful shop manager and team have worked tirelessly to get the shop ready to start trading again.
“I want to thank those who came to help with the clean up, from contractors repairing our windows and doors, the cleaning team that worked through the night, to the community of Hull who have shared their well-wishes with our team.
“As soon as we’re ready, we’re looking forward to opening our doors so that we can once again be a welcoming and safe space for everyone.”
