TL;DR
Buff City Soap is opening its first Louisiana soap makery in Shreveport, with plans to open four to six additional locations in the area. The brand, founded in 2013, offers customizable and handcrafted soap products made by local artisans at in-store Makeries.
“We really fell in love with the Buff City Soap concept,” stated Jeff. “After trying the products and experiencing the soap makeries for ourselves, we knew that Buff City Soap was something we wanted to bring to Louisiana and share with the Shreveport community.”
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.
“When people visit a Buff City Soap makery, they get to see how we create our products which is something completely unique to Buff City Soap,” said Katelyn. “Not only do they enjoy being able to see their products made in-person, but they also love the customization that our process offers and they enjoy being able to create their own scents.”
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.
The store hours for the new soap makery will be Monday - Saturday 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Sunday 12 p.m. to 6 pm.
Founded in 2013 and franchising since 2018, Buff City Soap continues its rapid growth trajectory across 13 states and 40+ stores. Buff City Soap’s delightfully smelling and uniquely handmade soaps are disrupting the retail beauty and consumer goods categories, and Buff City Soap was recognized in Entrepreneur’s Top 100 “Best of the New” franchise rankings.
