Description
Buff City Soap Franchising, LLC offers franchises to operate a Buff City Soap personal care product retail shop, providing consumers with high-quality, fresh, hand-made, plant-based soaps, bath soap "bombs," body and facial products and related custom services.
Company Background
Buff City Soap is a personal care product retail shop that offers fresh, hand-made, plant-based soaps. The company was founded in 2017 by entrepreneur and Buffalo native Brian D'Angelo who saw the need for healthy, high quality products to be available in stores across America. Buff City Soap Franchising LLC provides franchises to operate these shops nationwide and provide consumers with products such as soapy bath bombs, body lotions, facial serums and more.
Franchise Opportunity
It's hard to find good, fresh, hand-made soap that is also plant-based. Most soaps are either made with harsh chemicals or they're not very fresh because they're made in large batches. Buff City Soap is different. We only make our soaps in small batches, and we use only the freshest ingredients. Our soaps are also plant-based, which makes them gentle on your skin.
