Tickle Your Senses With Yankee Candles!Wendy Yeager How many of us remember as kids creating our own candles from our broken crayons We’d have mom or dad help us melt down the crayons on the stove, throwing in every color of the rainbow. Then we’d carefully pour the melted wax into old cardboard milk cartons. But, how many of us were able to turn the fun of creating candles at home into a profitable money-making business Well, Mike Kittredge, founder of Yankee Candles did just that! In 1969, when he was 16 years old, Mike melted down his old crayons to make his mom a candle for Christmas. His neighbor liked it so well, that she bought it from him. He then had enough money to buy wax to make both a candle for his mom and one to sell. This was the beginning of a bright future for Yankee Candles.
