A popular Niles business is now in a new location.

Forever Clean Soap Works, which sells handcrafted bath and body products, including custom-made soaps, has moved to 218 N. Front St. in downtown Niles.

It originally opened inside the Majerek’s Professional Building at 1011 Broadway St. in Niles last summer.

Owner Lisa Miller, who has been making soap for more than 15 years, said she loves the new location.

“It is bigger — a lot bigger — and we get more foot traffic and more (vehicle)

traffic,” she said.

Miller said her retail space has grown from 925 square feet to approximately 3,600 square feet when she includes the warehouse next door, which she is currently using as storage.

“There is room to grow,” she said.

The new storefront has many more windows than before, making the soap shop even more friendly and inviting.

“I’ve had people come by and walk in. People have driven by and stopped and said they just had to stop in,” Miller said.

Forever Clean Soap Works is open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday. It is closed Sunday.
