Teacher Acquires High Cotton Bath Co. At Wharf

Orange Beach, Ala. — (OBA) — After 22 years of teaching at Foley High School, longtime Baldwin County educator Cortney Robinson has officially acquired High Cotton Bath Co., a well-loved Orange Beach boutique known for its custom bath and body products, loungewear, bedding, and signature fragrances.


Robinson officially closed on the business on February 25, 2026, assuming ownership following years of dedicated stewardship by former owner Marlo Webb. High Cotton will continue operating at its current location, offering the same custom-scented lotions, soaps, fragrances, bedding, apparel, and home items that customers have come to know and love.


“After more than two decades in education, community has always been at the heart of what I do,” said Robinson. “I’m incredibly honored to carry High Cotton forward. This store has meant so much to both locals and visitors over the years, and my goal is to preserve what makes it special while thoughtfully building on that foundation.”


High Cotton Bath Co. has long been known for its personalized bath-and-body experience, allowing guests to create custom-scented products in-store. Robinson plans to maintain that hands-on experience while deepening the store’s connection to the Orange Beach community and the many families who return year after year.


“As a small business owner, I believe strongly in the importance of local boutiques that create memorable experiences,” Robinson added. “High Cotton is part of the fabric of Orange Beach, and I’m excited to invest in its future.”


High Cotton Bath Co. will continue regular business hours, and customers can follow updates at highcottonbath.com and on Facebook and Instagram.


High Cotton Bath Co. is operated by Kiki Investments LLC.
