BATH & BODY WORKS will open seven new UK stores before Christmas as it reveals huge expansion plans.
The brand, which sells a range of scented soaps and candles, already has 14 sites in Britain.
However, it has now set its sights on seven more locations before the end of year, according to Retail Week.
Daniel Heaf, chief of the brand told the outlet: “We see the UK as an important market for Bath & Body Works and one with exciting potential.
“While some brands may be reassessing their international priorities, we see a significant opportunity to introduce more consumers here to what makes Bath & Body Works so special, as reflected in our continued investment and expanding presence in the market.”
The retailer said by Christmas it plans to open branches in the following locations:
- Merryhill Shopping Centre near Dudley
- Norwich Chantry Place
- Solihull Touchwood
- Bristol Cribbs
- Brighton Churchill Square
- Milton Keynes Centre MK
- Braehead Glasgow
The much-loved brand first launched in the UK back in 2022, selling its goods at concessions within Next stores.
Bath and Body Works already has stores across London, Manchester and Newcastle.
And it’s not the only retailer with big Christmas expansion plans.
B&M is preparing to open eight new stores before the end of the year, while Aldi has set a target of 24 new sites.
