A True New England Family Business
Village Candle is owned and operated by a family – a REAL family – when you stop in and visit the warehouse sale you will likely find Sally and her daughter Krystal working the register and wrapping your purchases – we did!
Village Candle was started in Sally and Paul Aldrich’s basement – the story goes that Paul’s entrepreneurial passions started Village Candle in the basement of their home over a two burner stove – and boy are we glad he did! Check out the full story here – its a ‘feel good’ one that reminds us that people should and can follow their passions!
Mom’s Lifesavers stumbled upon Village Candle at the Wells, Maine headquarters while on vacation – when this mom see’s a sign like this – that’s right, we’re stopping to check it out!
With my husband and kids in tow (that were not nearly as excited as I was) we went into their ‘wow’ of a facility – “a 73,000 square foot space with a custom-built factory”.
While I shopped – getting not only incredible deals but LOTS of great gifts for family and friends, my husband, son and daughter sat on a bench – but not for long!
Sally Aldrich – yes, that’s right, the owner of Village Candle, saw them sitting there and came out and introduced herself. My husband, being a manufacturing engineer, was interested in the facility and soon they were talking ‘shop’. Next thing I know, we were on a private tour of the Village Candle factory and warehouse! AMAZING. (I would like to add that my husband and son will never look at a burning candle the same way!)
So they are a great family, with a made in the USA product, right here in New England AND they have a state of the art facility – but what about their candles? Top of the line. Yes, I can honestly say that we use and love these candles and enjoy giving them as gifts, as well as sharing the story of how we found them.
