Bath & Body Works is celebrating 35 fabulous years of bringing joy, comfort and unforgettable fragrances to customers, associates, community and other individuals around the world. It all began in September 1990, when the very first store opened in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Since then, the brand has blossomed into a global fragrance favorite, now with more than 1,900 stores across the U.S. and Canada, more than 500 international franchised locations, and its online storefront at www.bathandbodyworks.com.
From cozy candles to iconic body care, Bath & Body Works has been part of everyday rituals, seasonal traditions and countless “stop and smell the roses” moments. The brand’s mission has also been simple: to help people live more fully through the power of fragrance.
“35 years ago, Bath & Body Works began with a simple idea: to bring joy through fragrance and self-care,” said Bath & Body Works CEO Daniel Heaf. “Today, we’re proud to be part of millions of routines and memories. It’s our people, our passion and our purpose that has led us here today. Our team fuels our story.”
To mark the milestone, associates at the company’s Columbus, OH home office celebrated in style, with festive treats, live music and a meaningful volunteer event assembling care kits for CelebrateOne, a nonprofit organization dedicated to reducing infant mortality rates.
Here’s to the next 35 years of fragrance, fun and feel-good moments!
