However, she confirmed the scale-down will mean closing a B.C. woodshop the brand ran, and manufacturing operations in Vancouver will be shifted to Toronto.
Caruso says the moves are meant to deliver operational efficiency and ensure the long-term success of the brand.
She says the changes won’t cause any immediate impacts to Lush shops, its online store or its app services and says some staff will be relocated or transitioned to new roles.
She adds the changes are expected to be complete by Feb. 26.
