Cosmetics brand Lush will today unveil its newly expanded store at Bluewater - double the size of its original outlet.

Best known for their range of exotic bath bombs, it will open the doors of its redesigned shop at noon.

It comes as part of a £7.6million investment in its chain of stores across the UK and Europe planned for this year.

The expanded store at the Greenhithe shopping complex will now spread to 145sq metres.

Shop and space planner at Lush, Danielle Platt explained: "As part of our mission to ‘Leave the world Lusher than we found it’, the main focus of the design is repurposing furniture. Alongside some new furniture produced from ethically sourced and durable materials, existing furniture from the previous store will be repurposed and refinished to give the materials a new lease of life. This is reducing the environmental impact and any waste of the shop refit process.

"When fitting their shops, Lush utilise the same values they do when sourcing ingredients for their products."

Started 27 years ago, Lush now has more than 900 stops across 48 countries.
