The Body Shop store in Salisbury's Old George Mall will close as the retailer's administrators confirm more closures.

The FRP Advisory administrators confirmed 75 further closures today, including Salisbury's store.

It hasn't been confirmed yet when the Salisbury branch will close, but administrators have said that the latest tranche of closures will happen over the next four to six weeks.

Tony Wright, joint administrator, said: "In taking swift action to right-size The Body Shop UK store portfolio, we have stabilised the business and are providing the best opportunity for this iconic brand to have a long-term, sustainable future.

"The UK business continues to trade in administration, and we remain fully focused on exploring all options to take the business forward."

After the closure, Salisbury's closest Body Shop stores will be at Southampton West Quay and in Winchester.
