Bath & Body Works Opening New Store in Katy’s Plaza at Elyson This Fall
Residents in the fast-growing Elyson community will soon have a new destination for fragrant self-care and home essentials. A Bath & Body Works store is officially set to open at 22165 FM 529 Rd, Space 103, Katy, TX 77493, in the Plaza at Elyson, according to public construction permits filed with Harris County.
Construction is scheduled to begin on July 21, 2025, with a projected completion date of September 26, 2025. The scope of the project includes a full remodel of a 3,995-square-foot vacant retail space, with an estimated cost of $300,000 to prepare the site for the brand’s signature in-store experience.
A Fragrance Favorite Comes to Elyson
The arrival of Bath & Body Works to Katy's Elyson neighborhood brings with it one of the most recognizable names in personal care retail. Known for its wide array of fragrance-focused products, including lotions, shower gels, hand soaps, sanitizers, and its ever-popular three-wick candles, the brand has built a passionate following over the years.
Founded in 1990 in New Albany, Ohio, Bath & Body Works has grown into a household name with over 1,700 stores across North America. The retailer's success stems from its ability to consistently blend trend-forward fragrances with seasonal collections, affordable luxury, and a loyal customer base. Their highly anticipated semi-annual sales and limited-edition scent drops have become events in themselves for fans nationwide.

Strategic Expansion in a Booming Area
Elyson, one of Katy’s most rapidly developing master-planned communities, continues to attract major retailers as population growth and consumer demand increase. The new Bath & Body Works store at Plaza at Elyson is expected to serve not just Elyson residents, but also surrounding neighborhoods such as Cypress, Bridgeland, and Katy Proper, offering a convenient, local option for shoppers looking to stock up on body care gifts, seasonal home fragrances, and daily essentials.
With construction beginning in July and doors set to open as early as late September 2025, the Katy community won’t have to wait long to enjoy a new spot for luxury scents at accessible prices.

Once open, the Elyson Bath & Body Works store will likely feature the brand’s current retail format, offering interactive displays, seasonal themes, and curated sections for men’s grooming, wellness collections, and aromatherapy lines. The store is also expected to carry fan-favorite product lines such as Eucalyptus Spearmint, Japanese Cherry Blossom, and seasonal favorites like Pumpkin Pecan Waffles, Sweater Weather, and Leaves—just in time for fall.
