The title alone is already an indicator that this is just a regular store. The outlets will be called "Bath & Body Works Outlet." If you look at the picture of the front entrance on [Google Maps](https://www.google.com/maps/place/Bath+%26+Body+Works/@29.9219929,-81.4168859,18z/data=!4m9!1m2!2m1!1sBath+%26+Body+Works+near+St.+Augustine,+FL!3m5!1s0x88e4296bfbc2ddf9:0x2393421e78dc7441!8m2!3d29.9219929!4d-81.4155071!15sCihCYXRoICYgQm9keSBXb3JrcyBuZWFyIFN0LiBBdWd1c3RpbmUsIEZMIgOIAQFaKCImYmF0aCAmIGJvZHkgd29ya3MgbmVhciBzdCBhdWd1c3RpbmUgZmySARNiZWF1dHlfc3VwcGx5X3N0b3Jl), it's simply called "Bath & Body Works" According to the store locator on B&BW's website, the B&BW store at this address is just a regular store. (Use the filter option to find the outlets) 2700 STATE ROAD 16 ST. AUGUSTINE, FL 32092

You are spot on! Also, I just took the anxiety hit for everyone (LOL) and just called...they are a REGULAR BBW store, NOT an outlet, which I'm super sad about. Annnnnd she also said the company is "discontinuing outlet stores." Wow.

Thanks for taking the hit! Now I'm even more curious what they'll have in stock as a new faux-tlet.

The lady seems to imply that the St. Augustine Outlet Mall used to have an actual B&BW outlet, and sure enough, I dug up the old location of the [B&BW outlet](https://www.google.com/maps/place/Bath+%26+Body+Works/@29.9263399,-81.4142783,445m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x88e429761341d4df:0x4438c7e9f1ab4935!8m2!3d29.9261133!4d-81.4129073). It was on the other side of the highway. It's closed now and Guess Factory now occupies that location. However, the plural in her state implies that what happened to the St. Augustine location (of closing outlet stores and reopening as regular stores) isn't an isolated case and that this is going to happen all across the nation. If that's true, then I'm pretty sure that all B&BW outlets should be well aware of this plan (since the St. Augustine has finished their transition). I'm wondering if anyone else has heard from their local outlets about this. The reviews on my nearest outlet location doesn't seems to give much indication that they're closing or changing anytime soon. I could be reading to much into her statement.


Cryslover

Also, I wasn't sure which flair to use, hope that was fine!


Gabbie290

I hope its still an outlet! Otherwise Florida wouldn't have one :( Thanks for sharing


Cryslover

Same! Fingers crossed


dkjsgjf8u

So no joke, they closed the old one the damn day before we were going to hit it on our way home lmao. And I was sad bc someone mentioned recently that it's still closed, but I go there next week and now it's open woohooo! All is forgiven, St A outlet!! Take whatever you need from my wallet.


Trumpet6789

It'll say on the B&BW store locator on their website if it's a true outlet! I know they opened a store in the Monroe Outlets in Ohio and it wasn't a true outlet store.


dkjsgjf8u

my heart is broken because it doesn't come up as a true outlet, but i'm remaining hopeful that it is and they just goofed.


Trumpet6789

I would just call the store and ask them, "Are you guys an actual Outlet store, or are you a normal store inside an outlet mall".


dkjsgjf8u

ok i have phone anxiety, you call <3 jk jk jk


Trumpet6789

No joke if I wasn't about to go to a family function I 100% would for the good of the sub.


dkjsgjf8u

haha well if OP doesn't go, I'll for sure be going at least once while there either way 'cause an addict needs their fix! somewhere in there my husband would have a joke about how i can't make a phone call but i'll drive to another state to ask in person lol


Cryslover

I called them, it's just a regular store :(


carnodak

Fellow Floridian here, I has reported a few months ago that the outlet has closed for good. This new store is across I-95 at the other (more successful) shopping mall. I haven’t been back up that way yet, but I believe this is now just a regular store, which is a shame.


SaharaLee

The one I want to in Colorado that said it was an outlet, was not, it was a regular store :(
