COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 15, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- This May, Bath & Body Works is taking its focus on growing its men's business to the next level. In the past three years, the retailer has grown its men's category by nearly 50% through continued product evolution and assortment expansion, including the latest introduction of new skincare and beard care collections, launching May 15.

"We created the Men's Shop as a way to give the growing male customer base their very own destination within our brand to create and customize a product experience to complement their lifestyle," said Betsy Schumacher, Chief Merchandising Officer at Bath & Body Works. "Because we know these customers are not only incredibly loyal, but also highly engaged and eager to try new products, we are constantly looking for ways to introduce them to on-trend fragrances, must-try key items and white space categories that will make their routine as fun as it is functional."
