It was sad news for many Canadians recently when they heard that The Body Shop would be closing one-third of its stores in the country.
A staple of many communities in Canada since 1980, the beauty and cosmetics chain said 33 of its 105 shops would close as it seeks to restructure itself under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act.
The announcement came just weeks after its parent company filed for creditor protection in Britain, according to the CBC, though the Canadian arm was said to be doing well financially.
