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 second location in Cedar Rapids.
The new store, at 1005 Blairs Ferry Rd., Ste. 70, is slated to open Thursday, May 19.
To celebrate the opening, the first 50 people who visit the new store each day from Thursday through Sunday, May 19-22, will get one free bar of soap every month for a year. A multitude of other promotions will be offered during the store’s VIP grand opening celebration.
The company opened its first Cedar Rapids store, at 2300 Edgewood Rd. SW, Ste. G, in September 2021.
Founded in 2013, Buff City Soap has created a high-quality alternative to commercial soap products that contain 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 focusing on transparency of ingredients and process.
Each Buff City Soap store offers more than 30 customizable scents across dozens of handcrafted soap products, including soap bars, bath bombs, foaming hand soap and 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.
During thegrand opening, the Blairs Ferry Road store hours will be Thursday-Saturday, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Sunday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Normal business hours will be Monday-Saturday, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Sunday, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
