DAVENPORT, IOWA (October 12, 2022) — Buff City Soap — the rapidly-expanding retail franchise known for its handmade, plant-based soap and body products made in-store daily — will soon be opening its first location in Davenport, Iowa. The new store will be located at 4030 East 53rd St and is slated to open on October 20.

To celebrate the opening, the first fifty people who visit the new store in Davenport each day from Thursday, October 20 to Sunday, October 23, for the VIP Event will receive Free Soap for a Year with purchase.

“We are thrilled to bring Buff City Soap’s plant-based alternatives to the Davenport community because there truly is nothing else like this concept out there right now,” said Marketing Director, Kailee O’Brien. “We are both a retail shop and a soap manufacturer, all under one roof. Our customers appreciate the interactive retail experience we have to offer and their ability to craft their own custom soap and bath products in-store.”

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 thirty 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 Davenport VIP Event store hours will be Thursday–Saturday, 9AM-7PM, and Sunday, 10AM-6PM. Normal business hours are Monday–Saturday, 10AM-7PM, and Sunday, 11AM-6PM. To learn more about Buff City Soap of Davenport, please visit buffcitysoap.com/.
