DOWNTOWN'S FIRST BATH JUNKIETM IS COMING TO PEABODY PLACE ENTERTAINMENT AND RETAIL CENTER

MEMPHIS, TN (December 5, 2003) - Bath JunkieTM, a retailer of custom-blended bath and body products, has chosen Peabody Place Entertainment and Retail Center as the location for its newest studio opening Monday, December 8.

"We are excited to add another exciting retailer to our movies, music, dining and shopping mix at the Center," said Andrew J. Groveman, senior vice president of Belz, owner and developer of Peabody Place Entertainment and Retail Center.

The highly creative owners of Bath JunkieTM offer a truly unique variety of lotions, body washes, bubble baths, exfoliating salt scrubs, colognes, body mists, massage oils and more at the new studio. The concept offers exceptional quality bath products, custom mixed to the consumer's exact color and fragrance specifications.

Customers can choose from over 100 fragrances and an entire prism of colors for made-to-order bath and body products. The scents are divided into several categories, from African rain to dirt-a new fragrance that is popular with hunters. The blended combinations can be as unique and creative as each individual shopper. For color, the studio custom blends 100% vegetable pigments with its high-quality products to satisfy every Bath JunkieTM addiction.
