TL;DR
Buff City Soap is opening its first location in Minnesota, offering customizable soap and body products made in-store daily. The brand is disrupting the consumer goods industry by focusing on transparency of ingredients and process.
To celebrate the opening, the first 50 people who visit the new store in Forest Lake each day on Thursday, Feb. 10 - Sunday, Feb. 13 for the VIP Event will get FREE soap for a year.
“People don’t realize they have a soap addiction until they walk through the doors at Buff City Soap for the first time,” said Carla Haugaard, Director of Operations. “We take pride in the fact that everything in our store here is hand-made by members of the local Forest Lake community.”
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 Forest Lake store hours will be Monday - Friday 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., Saturday 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. and Sunday 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
