## Story

The first 50 people who visit the new Fayetteville store Thursday, June 3 - Sunday, June 6 will receive free soap for a year.

“We are excited to continue our expansion in Arkansas and introduce the Fayetteville community to our soap makery” said Brittany Peterman, Director of Operations. “Buff City Soap provides guests with an opportunity to see how our handcrafted plant based soaps and products are made daily.”

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.

“Our recent opening in Little Rock showcased Buff City Soap’s unique shopping experience and our soap makers are ready bring the West Arkansas area of Fayetville our plant based custom products and scents” stated Peterman.

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 Buff City Soap franchise plans to open additional locations throughout Arkansas. For Opening Weekend only, the Fayetteville store hours will be Thursday - Saturday 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., and Sunday 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
