## Story

WILMINGTON, N.C. - Buff City Soap - a handmade retail franchise known for its plant-based soap and body products made in-store daily - will soon be opening its first location in Wilmington. The new store will be located at 1039 International Dr. and is slated to open on Sept. 23.

To celebrate the opening, the first 50 people who visit the new store in Wilmington on Nov. 12- Nov. 14 for the grand opening event will get free soap for a year.

“Opening our new Buff City Soap location here in Wilmington is very exciting for us,” said Jamie Mason. “We know the local community will be able to appreciate the wide variety of personalized, high-quality soap and bath products we offer.”

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.
