As previous articles have advanced, the UK retail sector has
taken a pretty big hit because of the coronavirus. With people being afraid of
germ transmissions and not going out, online shopping is considerably growing
and physical stores are having to close down. The latest shop to be affected by
this is Goop. This is the new-age lifestyle brand outlet by Gwyneth
Paltrow that was located in London.
All stocks have already been removed from the shop and if
you pass by there, you will see that it is empty. The store offered a wide variety
of products, ranging from fashion, home or beauty and wellness categories. Gwyneth Paltrow first launched Goop in
2008 in the form of a newsletter via which she was offering her fans lifestyle
recommendations. However, this quickly grew into a major commercial venture. It
now has four shops in the US and a global e-commerce website. The items
sold at the London outlet were pretty unconventional and some people were not
too happy with it. So much so that in May, two barrow-loads of manure were
dumped outside the shop.
This move is quite a surprise since the celebrity has been
fighting to keep Goop
in business for quite a while, despite protests from others.
