A new Bath & Body Works location is planned for the San Antonio area, with the popular fragrance and personal-care retailer expected to join a growing lineup of national brands at a major shopping development in Castroville.
The store is listed among the planned tenants at Alsatian Oaks, a retail development located near the intersection of U.S. Highway 90 and FM 471, directly beside Castroville’s Walmart.
According to MySA, Bath & Body Works is among several retailers expected to anchor the development’s first phase. Other planned tenants include Rack Room Shoes, Burlington, Ross Dress for Less, Academy Sports + Outdoors and Boot Barn.
The upcoming shopping center is being developed by Merit Commercial Real Estate and forms part of a larger 453-acre master-planned community. The development is expected to include approximately 950 homes, neighborhood parks, trails, and an amenity center, in addition to its commercial space.
The commercial portion of Alsatian Oaks includes approximately 83 acres designated for retail and other businesses. The project is expected to bring additional shopping options to Castroville and surrounding communities, where some residents currently travel to San Antonio for access to national retailers.
Bath & Body Works is known for its selection of scented body care, including lotions, body washes and fragrance mists, as well as candles, hand soaps and home fragrance products.
According to MySA’s report, the first phase of Alsatian Oaks was estimated to be completed in January 2028. However, a specific construction schedule or grand opening date for the Bath & Body Works location has not been announced.
WhatNow has reached out to Bath & Body Works and the development team for additional information about the planned store, including its location within the shopping center and anticipated opening timeline. This article will be updated as more details become available.
