The Yankee Candle Company is known for providing quality
candles in an array of colors and wonderful fragrances. They have been in
business since 1969 when a young boy named Mike Kittredge made a candle from
melted crayons as a gift for his mother. His friends and family members loved
it, and he began selling them.
Soon the demand for them was more than he could keep up
with. Mike soon learned that the area in his parent’s home he was using to make
the candles wasn’t large enough. He also learned he needed help to meet the
supply demands. At the tender age of 19, he invested in retail space to make
and sell his candles.
In 1974, the business was moved into an old paper mill in
Mike’s hometown of Hadley , Massachusetts South Deerfield
Massachusetts
where it remains today. The company is a proud employer of more than 5,000
employees. These hard workers manufacture approximately 80 million candles each
year. Customer satisfaction with their products has earned them the position as
the Nations top candle designer manufacturer, and retailer in the industry.
Customers are impressed with the selection of candles the
Yankee Candle Company has to offer. The collection includes votives, pillars,
