The Body Shop, has unveiled its new store in Abu Dhabi, located in Al Fursan Mall, Khalfia City. Called ‘Activist Maker’s Workshop’ the store is part of huge expansion plan across the region that will encourage residents of these areas to explore the products and discover how, together, we can fight for a fairer and more beautiful world.
The Body Shop’s new Activist Maker’s Workshop stores are deiscribed as a place for play and discovery, where you can immerse themselves in the brand and get inspired by their beauty products and ethical purpose.
And, here's what what makes this new concept store a truly unique experience:
SUSTAINABLE STORE FIXTURES
The Body Shop store has been outfitted with sustainable fixtures made from reclaimed wood and recycled plastics to help minimise its environmental footprint. Examples include a metal facade constructed in aluminium, which requires less energy production than other materials and is infinitely recyclable. The store also has worktop surfaces that are manufactured from 100% recycled material destined for landfill.
REFILL STATION
The refill station is a key part of The Body Shop’s on-going retail strategy globally. You'll be able to purchase refills for an assortment of body and hair care products in re-usable aluminium bottles. The Body Shop’s ambition is for over 500 stores across the world to offer refill within the next 2 years. Scan the barcode to take a pledge today and join the REFILL REVOLUTION.
