The Dutch brand Rituals, specialized in home and body cosmetics, will open in 2015 its 1st French flagship store under the Canopy of Le Forum des Halles shopping Centre, on a surface of 143 m² GLA. This 1st flagship store will offer a unique City Spa concept developed by the retailer.
With a network of 350 freestanding stores and 1000 shop-in-shops worldwide, Rituals, which has an ambitious expansion strategy for France, has instructed Cushman & Wakefield to act as exclusive lettings agent for their expansion, and will open stores on high street locations as well as in shopping centres with an average size of between 60 and 100 m².

Also several shop-in-shops are expected to be opened in leading department stores and perfumery stores throughout France.

The brand philosophy is based on the concept that happiness is made of small things. With a diverse range of luxury products inspired by Eastern traditions, Rituals transforms everyday routines into moments of indulgence.
