The Body Shop previously filed for business in the United Kingdom, the company’s home country. Bankruptcy proceedings were also started in Germany. A consultancy firm was appointed to arrange the bankruptcy and restructuring of the British activities, with a view to a restart.
But now The Body Shop Belgium has also collapsed. The Belgian webshop had been out of use for some time and several of the 16 Belgian stores have also remained closed two weeks ago.
A Dutch curator must settle the bankruptcy because the stores legally fall under the Dutch business unit The Body Shop Benelux, says RTL Z.
