CANDLE DAY HISTORY
Every year since the day began in 2013, candle lovers from across the country gather on the first Sunday in December to take advantage of the annual Bath & Body Works candle sale. Three wick candles that generally cost around $ 25 will only cost $ 9.50. Some locations will extend their hours of operation to open earlier and close later, giving your customers plenty of time to go to the store and sniff out their favorite candles.
Since ancient times, candle makers have added scents to produce the best smelling candles. It started in China with their candle-lit “time clocks.” Incense sticks were often inserted into the wax to add soothing scents. Sometimes incense was placed sporadically throughout the candle so that the aroma would constantly change. In the 1980s and 1990s, the revival in popularity of candles became an international phenomenon, due in part to their decorative value, but also to their ability to allow the modern, stressed and overworked homeowner the opportunity to create a relaxing environment using aromatherapy from scented candles.
Bath & Body Works, an American retailer under the L Brands umbrella, was founded in 1990 in New Albany, Ohio. The company’s first store opened in a Cambridge, Massachusetts shopping center in September 1990. In 1997, a sub-brand called Bath & Body Works at Home was launched. The name was soon changed to Slatkin before settling on the name we know today, White Barn Candle Company. The company launched a seasonal catalog, website, and launched its first television commercial in 2006. Net sales as of January 28, 2006 were $ 2.3 billion, significantly higher than all other L brand companies. except Victoria’s Secret.
