Fragrances, lotions and soaps, oh my!

"This has truly been the best opening we’ve ever had," says Carole Teitelbaum, executive vice president of Bath & Body Works Canada. "It's absolutely incredible."

Bath & Body Works products have an incredible following in Canada, which prompted the opening of their Winnipeg location. "We take a 'masstige' approach to our products. They have broad appeal, they smell good, and they make you feel good."

The new 2700 square ft. location features all the products that have made this brand popular, from lotions to fragrances and their most popular product, their hand soaps. They have introduced new fragrances for the summer, "Summer Vanillas," in coconut, berry and lemon. "Our orange sapphire scent is really nice too. It's a citrusy, fresh summer scent," says Teitelbaum.

The St. Vital location carries a variety of product lines, including the Bath & Body Works Signature Collection, True Blue Spa, and our personal favourite C.O. Bigelow. Our product pick from the new summer line is C.O. Bigelow's Mentha Organics sheer lip tint, which retails for $8.

With Mother's Day just around the corner, Bath & Body Works can be your one-stop shop for the perfect gift for Mom. "We have prepackaged gifts, or you can do it yourself and take advantage of our free cellophane wrapping," says Teitelbaum.

Bath & Body Works is one of the latest new stores to open in St. Vital Shopping Centre. Recently, Canadian retail store Boathouse opened its doors.

"This location gives accessibility to more people. We know how fantastic this mall is," says Teitelbaum.

St. Vital Shopping Centre is open Monday to Friday from 10 a.m. until 9 p.m., Saturdays from 9:30 a.m. until 6 p.m. and Sundays from noon until 6 p.m.
