NATURAL. HARDWORKING. LOCAL.
Kalamazoo Candle Company was founded on a simple premise: you deserve a better candle. Our journey to make that candle began in October of 2013 with one man and a box of wax. As we grow, our small-town values and dedication to craft continue to guide us. We believe our commitment to sustainability and locally sourcing the highest-quality materials to make an artisan product at a fair price is authentically and uniquely, “Kalamazoo.”

QUALITY
Our hands-on process ensures that every single candle not only looks and smells great, but also burns cleanly and for as long as possible. We sustainably craft 100% natural soy candles from the finest American-made materials we can find. Meticulously hand-poured and thoughtfully packaged, our candles are as honest and hardworking as the city that inspires them.

COMMUNITY
We are always looking for ways to celebrate and uplift the community we call home. Our flagship retail store, Marketplace, has become a Downtown Kalamazoo landmark, and we’re proud to support non-profit organizations with donations and our generous fundraising program.

SUSTAINABILITY
We care a great deal about the impact we have on the environment and work hard to develop sustainable practices in candle production and shipping. We’re passionate about supporting local businesses and continuously looking for new ways to reduce waste and eliminate single-use plastic.

It's because of you, our customers, that we have been fortunate to grow over the years. We look forward to bringing you the candles you love (and deserve) for many more years to come.
