Yesterday we quoted the Los Angeles Business Journal in an item we posted regarding the retail push at Glendale Galleria. A Racked reader comments on the LABJ quote, which refers to "Lush, a trendy British beauty boutique that’s new to the United States," writing, "Am I hallucinating the fact that there is a Lush at the Promenade and (shudder) City Walk? How is that 'new to the United States' or 'first in California'?" Yes, dear reader, you are correct, there are nearly 60 Lush shops in the U.S., hardly "new to the United States." [RackedWire]
