The fragrances you love ~ The quality you remember.
FROM CRAYONS TO CANDLES
At just sixteen, Michael Kittredge II made a candle for his mom’s Christmas present using his childhood crayons and an antique stove. This was the start of a tiny but fast-growing business called Yankee Candle. By following his inspiration and always stressing quality, he made Yankee the candle industry standard and reshaped the modern giftware landscape. He sold Yankee Candle in 1998. Although Michael (Mick) Kittredge III was young at the time, he very much recalls growing up and learning in his father’s world of wax and wicks.
BRINGING IDEA TO MARKET: KRINGLE CANDLE COMPANY
Mick was eighteen in 2008 when he made his first candle on the same stove purely for fun. In 2009, he made scented candles the theme of a collegiate marketing course that required him to create and promote a product. It was a natural choice. He discussed an idea that would not go away with his dad; asking his advice. “Could this school assignment be the seed of a new company?” The answer was yes, and in late 2009, Mick started the Kringle Candle Company with a new concept - all white candles no matter the fragrance to match any décor.
A suitable building in cozy Bernardston, Massachusetts was purchased for manufacturing that would also include a retail store to showcase our candle line. The store opened in October 2010.

Since 2010, Kringle’s corporate headquarters and production moved to a new location within Bernardston. The retail campus expanded across the street with the opening of The Farm Table Restaurant housed in a carefully restored and renovated farmhouse built c.1800 where patrons enjoy a high-quality dining experience.
Kringle Candle unites the best of the traditional and the new, with exciting candle products designed to mesh with virtually any decor, working hand-in-hand with the industry's finest perfumers to select an array of robust, realistic candle fragrances. Kringle’s all-white candles not only blend perfectly with all backdrops, they emit the purest, brightest light possible.
In 2017, their newest brand Country Candle was introduced - a colored wax collection of family Kittredge recipes of yesterday and today.
