Candleman Franchise Information

About Us
In the early 1990s, the founders of Candleman discovered an untapped market for candles and related accessories. At that time, the United States retail market for candles was $300 million.
Candleman opened their first mall-based store in 1992. Since then our system has grown to include stores in over 20 US states, several Canadian provinces, Australia and New Zealand.
Meanwhile, the candle industry has exploded along with our success. The US retail candle industry has grown over 650% since our founding to exceeded $2.5 billion in retail sales in 2002.

Who is Suited to Own a Candleman Franchise?
The successful Candleman franchisee is a partner couple who enjoys people, has a flair for home decor and can share their talents with fellow franchisees in order to grow the entire system. They enjoy the business, its elegant atmosphere of subdued lighting, mahogany and brass, its unique ambiance and the customers who are having a pleasant time shopping for something special for themselves or for that "perfect" gift for someone special.
