News Flash: LUSH Coming to Jersey City, Freehold, & Garden City This Summer

I don’t want Tinsel Creation to be the kind of blog that just copies press release after press release, because really, what’s the point? On the other hand, if a piece of news in my inbox really makes me sit up and smile (or cry or frown), I’ll share it.

LUSH Cosmetics has been one of my favorite destinations for nature-based body products and skincare for the past decade. Before the company opened stores in the United States, I used to mail order my favorite products from Canada and  Australia, so I’ve never gotten over the excitement of having LUSH right here in New York and the surrounding area (and cities all across the country).

Three new stores are opening this summer in the NYC metro area. Here are the details and opening dates:

Freehold Raceway Mall — Freehold, NJ
3710 Route 9, Freehold, NJ 07728
Estimated opening date: July 12*

Newport Centre Mall — Jersey City, NJ
30 Mall Drive West, Jersey City, NJ 07310
Estimated opening date: July 15*

Roosevelt Field Mall – Garden City NY
630 Old Country Road, Garden City, NY 11530
Estimate opening date: August 3*

*opening dates subject to change.

And, take note:

**All three tri-state area locations will be hosting a grand opening party a few weeks after the official store opening—details to follow.
