## Story

LEE’S SUMMIT, Missouri - Buff City Soap - a retail franchise known for its handmade, plant-based soap and body products made in-store daily - is opening its first Lee’s Summit location. The new store will be located at 2050 NW Lowenstein Drive, at the Streets of West Pryor in front of McKeever’s Market & Eatery and is slated to open on September 9, 2021.

As part of their Opening VIP Weekend, the first 50 people who visit the new Lee’s Summit store Thursday, September 9 - Sunday, September 12, will receive free soap for a year.

"We are excited to bring the Buff City Soap experience to the wonderful community of Lee’s Summit,” stated Nicole Syfritt, Operations Partner and Regional Manager.

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 Lee’s Summit location hours for its Opening VIP Weekend will be September 9 and September 12 at 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., and September 10 - September 11 at 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Regular location hours will be Monday-Thursday 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., Friday and Saturday 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Sunday 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
