Cosmetics retailer Lush says it will not renew its lease with Westfield and will leave Westfield shopping centres permanently across Australia. Multiple outlets report the move takes effect over the coming period, with customers potentially affected by the closure of existing stores.
Lush positions the decision as part of a wider effort to align its operations with “community ethics,” and the outlets describe the brand as known for its immersive, scent-based in-store experience. The reports also note the practical impact on local access: one outlet says Perth will be left with only a single Lush store that is not in a Westfield location, while another describes Lush cutting ties with Westfield “shopping centre giant” more broadly.
While coverage differs in tone and emphasis—ranging from customer reaction to local store implications—sources agree on the core point: Lush confirms a permanent departure from Westfield centres in Australia following the end of its lease arrangements.
