Minding Our Own Beeswax at The Candle Factory
Stuff We Love
Aug. 10, 2024
There are a lot of orange barrels—or should we say pillars?—standing between drivers and The Candle Factory just outside downtown Traverse City. But take a trip down Hall Street and come home with something that smells sweet and burns even sweeter. We’re big fans of their beeswax votive and taper candles, and not just for the subtle honey scent. Beeswax burns longer thanks to its density and high melting point, and it skips the chemicals found in its paraffin counterparts. The Candle Factory carries all-natural Bluecorn Candles, which are handmade in Colorado before making their way to 301 W Grandview Parkway. If you can’t pop by the store, shop their inventory online at soycandles.com or call (231) 946-2280.
