Yankee Candles
An easily recognizable name, The Yankee Candle Company, Inc. is the leading designer, manufacturer, retailer and wholesaler of premium scented candles in the U.S.
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 Mike to sell the candle to her. With that small stake, he bought enough wax to make two candles - one for his mom, and another to sell. That was the birth of Yankee Candle.
