More about Chance

Hey, I'm Chance, and I'm so glad you’ve stopped by to learn a little more about me and my journey. Born and raised in Pontotoc, Mississippi, I’ve always carried my Southern roots with pride—those small-town values of hard work, hospitality, and a deep love for family and community.

Growing up, I was always on the move—playing sports, making memories, and working hard. I played just about every sport you could imagine in high school, and soccer had a special place in my heart, so much so that I continued to play it in college. Sports taught me valuable lessons in teamwork, discipline, and perseverance—all of which I carry with me every day.

As life goes, my journey took me far from my Mississippi home. I’ve lived in California, Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina, and each of those places shaped me in different ways. Whether it was soaking in the California sunshine or enjoying the charm of the Carolinas, every move added to my story and taught me something new about the world and myself.

After college, I worked for my hometown’s sheriff department, my family’s security business, and even our family steakhouse. Those experiences gave me a real taste for entrepreneurship and sparked a desire to build something of my own. I wanted to create a business that wasn’t just about selling products—but one that brought people together and offered something special.

And that’s how Copper Canyon Soap Co. came to life. I wanted to create a unique space where customers could do more than just shop—they could have fun and get creative! Whether you’re making your own candles, soaps, shower tabs, or even bath bombs, I wanted to give customers a chance to create something they’d be proud of. That’s why we offer hands-on experiences at every Copper Canyon location.

Fast forward to 2025, and I’m so excited to be living out my dream, working alongside my amazing team in each of our stores on the East Coast. Every day, I get to meet wonderful people, share my love for all things natural, and make sure your visit is something unforgettable. Whether you’re stopping by to shop or taking part in one of our fun parties, I hope you feel like part of the Copper Canyon family.

You never know when I might pop into one of our stores, so if you see me, don’t hesitate to say hello! I’m always happy to chat and share the Copper Canyon magic with you.

With love and gratitude,
Chance Kitchens 
Founder of Copper Canyon Soap Co.
