The new Rituals store at Westwood Cross is now open following a ribbon cutting ceremony yesterday (November 5).
The ribbon was cut at around 10:30am by Mike Garner, Mayor of Broadstairs, joined by the shopping centre director, local beat officers and the newly appointed Rituals team.
A large queue had already formed ahead of opening. Shopper Jude Mulcahy was the first customer through the door. Jude will be receiving a special goody bag from Westwood Cross and Rituals to mark the occasion.
Fran Donovan, Centre Director at Westwood Cross, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Rituals to Westwood Cross as part of our growing retail line-up.
“This exciting addition will bring guests a touch of everyday luxury, with its beautiful range of bath, body, and home products available in Thanet for the very first time.
“The arrival of Rituals strengthens our position as a destination for unique and high-quality shopping experiences, giving our visitors even more choice right on their doorstep. We’re proud to continue enhancing the variety of brands at Westwood Cross and look forward to seeing our guests enjoy everything this fantastic store has to offer.”
The opening comes on the heels of the new Pandora store next door which also opened for business this week.
Nice to see they have Rover/Guardian outside-to stop number 6, or anybody escaping the store.

Yours maybe-but they had the Body Shop’s there until last year & multiple other stores sell the same stuff-Range, B&M etc.
if you think the equivalent stuff from the Range/B&M smells as good or lasts as long, then knock yourself out. For scents and toiletries, Rituals are near unbeatable at the price point. You get high end luxury quality (tom ford levels of scent), at half the price. Range scents, don’t even smell that strong and don’t last, at all as they use the smallest amounts of perfume oils.
Also, to my surprise, their products are manufactured in Europe, with some of there ingredients coming from a few Asian countries. Ive always avoided Rituals as I thought they were produced in China for some reason. I hope they do well.
All the same stuff most likely. Like the organic version of the same ordinary version food is a quid more-likely got just as many pesticides on in reality.
The Rituals products are up to 94% naturally derived ingredients and made in Europe. No comparison to the other stores mentioned. Good for everyone to have a choice of buying quality options over mass produced production with toxic ingredients.
