"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. That was the birth of Yankee
Candle.
Having earned a reputation for superior, long-lasting
fragrance quality, Yankee Candle is America's number
one brand of premium scented candles. The company's
retail stores sell
approximately 130 candle fragrances (the South Deerfield
Flagship Store sells more than 160). Guests can choose
from hundreds of
candles, including the popular Housewarmer® line and the
Home Classics line. Most are available in a wide
array of sizes and styles including jars, Samplers® votive
candles, Tarts® wax
potpourri, and tea lights. |
