For all you Orange County Lushies – that’s what us Lush devotees are called – out there, the Anaheim GardenWalk store opened on Wednesday, February 18. All I can say is YAY! Unfortunately I was not able to be there on their first day of business in O.C., but fear not, I went today. 

Lush, Anaheim GardenWalk

Did I tell you I LOVE this store? No, you didn’t get the memo? Here is is again: I LOVE THIS STORE!!!

As I might’ve mentioned, I love the store. However, I’m not in love with the location. It’s still far for me, but closer than Santa Monica. I live in South County and granted, I was on the 5 at 3:00 p.m. on a Friday so it took me 45 minutes to get there. I personally think it would do better at the Irvine Specturm Center or South Coast Plaza. I was shocked at how dead GardenWalk was on a Friday afternoon. I mean no one was there. No one.  Considering what a gorgeous day it was I thought more people would be out and about. The mall is less than 50% occupied. I stopped by the Spectrum on my way home and it was much busier. Regardless, Lush will definitely bring people to the GardenWalk.

According to the store manager, Brittany, they will be hosting their grand opening party on Saturday, March 21. She encourages everyone to sign-up for e-mail notifications or to watch the Lush Forum for information. Brittany said it will most likely be a R.S.V.P. event and will include a goodie bag.
