Bath And Body Works

Bath & Body Works is an American retail store under the Limited Brands umbrella. It was founded in 1990 in New Albany, Ohio and has since expanded across the United States.It specializes in lotions, bath items, personal care items, and home fragrances.

The company launched both a seasonal catalog and a website in 2006. In November 2006, Bath and Body Works launched its first television commercial advertisement. Net sales as of January 28, 2006, were US$2,285,000,000, significantly higher than all other Limited Brands, except Victoria's Secret.

In July 2008, the company announced that it was opening six locations in Canada. With the company acquiring Canadian-based La Senza, they felt it was the opportunity to move into a growing Canadian market, with The Body Shop being its main competition.

In January 2009, they moved to a new style of bottles. The labels have also changed for the Signature collection bath products, as well as the Slatkin & Co. and Bath and Body Works Signature home fragrance scents, including the Walflowers, Scentports, Candles, Room Sprays and Fragrance Oils. They have also begun offering shipping to Canada. Bath and Body Works operates more than 1,600 stores.
