## Story

To celebrate the opening, the first 50 people who visit the new store in Wilkes-Barre each day from Thursday, Sept. 15–Sunday, Sept. 18 for the Grand Opening Event, will get one free bar of soap with purchase every month for a year.

“We’re so excited to introduce the Wilkes-Barre community to Buff City Soap’s high-quality, plant-based soap and body products,” said Marketing Director, Virginia Kamenitzer. “Our unique concept invites guests to get involved in the soap-making process and create their own scents, and we know it will be a big hit here. We can’t wait to open our doors and start building relationships with soon-to-be lifelong Buff City Soap fans!”

Founded in 2013, Buff City Soap has created a high-quality alternative to commercial soap products full of harsh chemicals, detergents, animal fats, and sulfates. By giving customers the chance to see the whole making process live in each Soap Makery, Buff City Soap is disrupting the consumer goods industry by focusing on transparency of ingredients and process.

Each Buff City Soap store offers more than 30 unique and customizable scents across dozens of handcrafted soap products; including its famous soap bars, bath bombs, foaming hand soap, and even laundry soap. The brand’s products are crafted by local artisans at the in-store Makeries, which allow guests to customize the scent and ingredients used in the process to create a unique scent profile.

The Wilkes-Barre store hours will be Monday – Thursday, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., Friday and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Sunday, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
