Could Amarillo Be Getting Its First Standalone Bath & Body Works Store

One of my favorite places to shop in Amarillo is Bath & Body Works, but I will admit I tend to order online. One of the main reasons is that I don't want to have to walk through the mall just to get to Bath and Body Works. So, I order online and have it in a couple of days.

I always wished we were like other cities, where Bath & Body Works was located in one of the strip shopping centers. One of the things that Lubbock has gotten right is having a Bath & Body Works outside of the mall. I would be all about pulling up and parking, and walking directly to the store. However, for me, the mall is a deterrent.

If you're like me and the thought of going inside the mall keeps you from visiting Bath & Body Works, then I have some great news for you.

What the Permits Say About the New Bath & Body Works

According to the Texas Department of Licensing, Bath & Body Works has filed plans to move into Westgate Village, and the details are worth getting excited about.

Where Exactly Is the New Bath & Body Works Going

The exact address is 2812 S Soncy Road, Space 2810 and 2812. This is the Merle Norman location with the space right next to it. Merle Norman will be relocating soon.

When Will the New Amarillo Bath & Body Works Open

They are combining two existing retail spaces to create a space over 2,800 sq ft. Renovations are expected to start July 6 and finish by October 2026, and will cost $250,000. It may be open just in time for the holiday shopping season.

Why This New Location Is a Big Deal for Amarillo Shoppers

This store will be more convenient for many. All I know is I will be shopping in-store more once this new location opens. I will more than likely shop in-store on Bath & Body Works Candle Day or their Semi-Annual Sale, and anytime I feel the urge for a new body spray. This is going to be bad because it will feed my BBW hand soap addiction. Yes, I have a whole cabinet dedicated to BBW hand soap. I can't be the only one excited about a standalone Bath & Body Works.
