Bath & Body Works Enters 600-Plus Ulta Stores, Reviving Juniper Breeze on July 12

3 articles · Updated · Fox Business · Jun 22

Summary

  • More than 600 Ulta Beauty stores will begin carrying Bath & Body Works products on July 12, marking the retailer’s broadest push yet beyond its own store base.
  • The partnership is designed to capture shoppers where they already browse for beauty and fragrance, part of Bath & Body Works’ strategy to expand reach through third-party marketplaces.
  • Juniper Breeze — a legacy scent from the 1990s and 2000s — will return exclusively through the Ulta rollout, giving the launch a nostalgia hook alongside core items like lotions, soaps and candles.
  • Early marketplace tests, including Bath & Body Works’ Amazon launch this year, showed incremental demand rather than overlap and drew younger, more affluent customers, the company said.
  • Bath & Body Works operates more than 1,900 stores in the U.S. and Canada plus 500 internationally, while Ulta has more than 1,500 U.S. stores, giving the deal room to scale.
