"It all started with a gift for my Mom ..." Christmas 1969. Sixteen-year old Mike Kittredge, too broke to buy his mother a present, melted some crayons to make her a candle. A neighbor saw it and convinced him to sell it. With that cash, he bought enough wax to make a candle for his mom plus another, which he sold. World's Largest Candle Store It's a candle lover's dream - over 160 of our famous, true-to-life scents, plus beautiful accessories, accents and collectibles. |

 | | S. Miele, Co-op Member | | Yankee Candle is a fun field trip that doesn't take a whole day to enjoy. We listened to a costumed guide explain some of the history of candles and candle-making, while demonstrating how different candles are made. He was very interesting, and engaged the audience, young and old. We wandered through the different rooms looking at (and smelling!) the various candles, then dipped our own candles at the candle-dipping station. Very enjoyable for kids and adults! |
