This specific Bath & Body Works location is great. And the sole reason behind that is because it is NOT in a mall. It’s located in a strip mall anchored by Macy’s and Stop & Shop. I came here last week on a mission. I never made it to B&BW before the holidays to stock up on the winter scents of hand soap. I went to the two locations in Willowbrook Mall and neither one of them had what I was looking for. Then I remembered that this location existed, so I came here the next day during lunch. And what did I find here? The hand soap that I was seeking! I was super excited. I don’t think that this location gets the same kind of traffic as the stores in the mall, so if you’re on the hunt for a seasonal scent, I recommend coming to this location. Staff was very friendly. Parking was a breeze. And they had my sought after scent. I couldn’t ask for anything more(well, maybe more than one bottle of said scent, but I’ll take what I can get).

I like this particular Bath & Body Works location the best out of all the ones in my area because it isn’t inside of a mall. The shopping center it is located in has many stores and ample parking, which makes shopping here a breeze. The store is always clean, well-organized and the staff are very helpful. As another reviewer said, there is sometimes an opportunity to come in and get a freebie or a great sale. They have many testers you can use to see if you like a certain product before buying it, which is always a plus.

Many of us know that Bath & Body Works are all over the tri-state area. I’ve been in many of the Manhattan stores and I like a lot of them. B & B Works chain stores are designed similarly and make an effort to arrange all the products in attractive, appealing, eye pleasing/catching ways for the customers. Usually they run specials, sales and pairing coupon offerings. I often leave B & B Works with a freebie or two. I like that. Who wouldn’t. Freebies make us happy. :) For me, what sets this particular location apart from some of the other stores is the large layout, cleanliness and overall airy and aesthetically pleasing product arrangement. The staff is pleasant and helpful without being overbearing. Also, this B & B Works is in the Preaknass Shopping Center surrounded by other stores to get your shopping needs met. Ie., Flair, a Nine West Outlet, Annie Sez, Macy’s and more. They have a pretty sink and mirror for you to wash up after trying on the soaps, lotions, even lip glosses. It seems each time I visit, B & B Works has come up with another lip gloss flavor. Theirs is a collection of assorted fruity flavors. The gloss itself remains glossy on the lips for a while before the need to reapply. Mainly, I love the creativity of themes available during the different seasons. They have their staple signature scents in the way of candles, soaps, lotions and more, but it’s always a thrill to walk in and see the new displays and seasonal items. Right now, I’m particularly digging everything in the orange scent. If you are as wild about all things orangey as I am, then check out the Orange Sapphire line. I love the OS hand cream, shower gelee exfoliant and bubble bath and other items. I really like their antibacterial foam squirt bottles as well as the lotion soap. I’m currently donning a pair of Tropical Paradise anti– bac soaps in my bathroom– the foam and the lotion anti-bac. I have a little caribbean theme happening around my apartment for the summer. Candle scents like Island Nectar, Caribbean Escape abound to remind me that even if I can’t travel to the islands at this time, I can bring a bit of the Caribbean paradise to me.
