The Yankee Candle Company is the largest U.S. manufacturer of scented candles. Founded in South Hadley, Massachusetts, and now located in South Deerfield, Massachusetts it is one of the largest employers in the Pioneer Valley.

History

“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 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.

From that candle, the Company has grown to encompass more than 300 Yankee Candle retail stores, a wholesale network with approximately 15,000 store locations, direct mail catalogs, an e-commerce site, yankeecandle.com, and international distributors.

Yankee Candle Today

From its growing base of retail stores and Yankee Candle retailers, to its ever-expanding candle lines, candle accessories and home fragrance products, Yankee Candle has come a long way since its humble beginnings and continues to look to the future.
