The Accidental candle makers
In 2017, while on a medical leave for a surgically repaired shoulder, Todd and our youngest daughter Ella made their first candle. No one could have known then that the simple beer-bottle cutting kit ordered off of Facebook would rapidly morph into the business it is today.
Before you knew it we were pouring soy candles in our basement and we began selling them at craft shows and local gift shops throughout Minnesota. Their unique lake theme was popular and we began looking for larger wax equipment.
Our quest for candle making equipment lead us to Hillsboro, North Dakota and the shuttered home of Spiral Light Candle.
Spiral Light had closed its doors after a number of year's making their unique, patented candle. We showed up looking for a new wax melter and left with a huge rental truck full of equipment.
The new era of Spiral Light Candles was about to begin.
Like many other businesses, the new Spiral Light Candles operation quickly took over our entire garage. It was dark, it was cold and it was soon way too small.
After numerous leaps of faith, lots of sleepless nights and a little bit of luck, we opened our first factory. We were in Heaven. It was warm, it was well lit and best of all it was large enough to finally be able to fulfill all of our loyal customer's orders. Or so we thought. In less than two years we were bursting at the seams. The demand for Spiral Lights far exceeded anything we could have ever imagined.
It seemed this little candle company needed one last leap of faith. What started out as a small shop in our basement is now a national candle brand moving into its new 8,000sqft manufacturing space. No matter how large the space, we will always be the small family run candle business at heart.
