Naples Soap Co. Signs Lease for a New Store Location in Kissimmee, Fla.

Naples, Fla. (September 23, 2021) – Naples Soap Company, a retail destination known for high-quality skin and hair care, has signed a lease to open a new store at the bustling Promenade at Sunset Walk adjacent to the Margaritaville Resort in Orlando. With over 2,500 square feet of retail space, the location will be the largest footprint for the growing retailer.

“Our coastal-inspired product line will be a great fit for this high-traffic, tourist-focused destination. We’ll have the opportunity to introduce our skin and hair care to families visiting the area and to nurture relationships with local shoppers. This formula has worked well for us in other vacation destinations like Tin City in Naples, HarborWalk Village in Destin and Fishermen’s Village in Punta Gorda. Tourists return home and continue to buy from our online store while locals discover us then shop year-round,” said founder and CEO, Deanna Wallin. “The Kissimmee area attracts millions of visitors each year due to its close proximity to Disney World, Universal and Sea World. This new location will give us great brand exposure on a local, national and international scale.”

Founded in 2009, Naples Soap Company has been helping people with sensitive skin by providing a premium collection of skin and hair care products that are made in the USA with high-quality, natural ingredients. The Company is best known for its doctor-recommend The Eczema Kit®, natural soaps, body butters, sea salt scrubs and luxury bath bombs.
