Bath & Body Works is an American retail chain that sells scented products for the home and similar beauty products. Founded in 1990 in New Albany, Ohio, the chain opened its first store in Massachusetts later that year. Many of its early products included scented soaps and lotions. The popularity of those products led to the introduction of a new line called Bath & Body Works at Home. This line features candles, room sprays and similar scented products. Bath & Body Works would slowly grow with new locations opening in the United States and Canada. There are now more than 1,600 Bath & Body Works shops in North America and Kuwait. To separate its products, the store uses several collections.
