The Candle Factory

Love the Candle Factory! They have a great variety of candles, candle sticks and center pieces. I often go here to get wedding gifts. It’s reasonably priced and the staff is very helpful!

Hell yeah I need some candles!
Worked here for several years. Fun place to visit. The building itself is rather interesting. Great people continue to work there.
Couple of common misconceptions:
The Candle Man, Bryan, owns the company. Candle Factory has been owned by the same family for the entirety of it’s existence.
The candle factory is an actual factory that produces candles. The candle factory does in-​fact make A FEW candles here, but don’t expect a production line. They produce Landscape, carved, and specialty candles.
The water leaking from the ceilings goes unnoticed. They see it, it helps wash the floors, don’t worry about it.
Free gift wrap, its only free if you really need it. Asking to gift wrap everything because its free will net you bad karma.
A good place to park during Cherry Festival. Its not.
Also not a good place to use the bathroom during Cherry Festival. It doubles as a stock room and is nothing luxurious.
They have every candle scent ever. They don’t carry «that one that smells like that stuff…»
They have a huge sale section. This ain’t Kohl’s, there are no coupons just a small disorganized section of old-​stock.
Despite writing the price on each individual item, that they are in-​fact negotiable. This is a business people.
Candles come in flavors. None of the employees eat candles, so the staff is still uncertain on what each candle «tastes» like. A generous tip may help your locating of a certain flavor.
It is a great store. They carry some great brands (Archipelago, Voluspa, Pacifica, Root, etc.) and probably some of the best customer service in TC. Free matches with purchase, and free maps (made by the owners’) of local attractions.
If you like candles, old buildings, or shenanigans, stop on by. You’ll probably come back every-​time you visit TC.

I love the Candle Factory, just as I did the last time I was there at the age of 8.
It has of course expanded in the past 16 years. They have such a large selection of all types of candles. They make their own candles, including for weddings. Most of what they sell is imported to them, but they do their own custom work in back-​you can even see their work space, which is pretty neat.
I can’t even begin to describe the selection here. They have literally everything. Normal unscented candles, scented candles, Yankee candles, shaped candles (fruit, animals, flowers, and way more), tall candles, short candles, and of course many candle holders. They’ve done such a nice job of displaying them as well. I can’t wait to go back and purchase more candles!
