First of all
THANK YOU for looking at our unique handmade gifts or supplies for making your wonderful products.
As a VERY VERY Small business we appreciate all the support that we get.
Here is a little bit of information about Mels Candles
ESTABLISHED � May 2011
SIZE � Very Very Small Business
LOCATION � 113a North Bishop Ave, Rolla Missouri 65401
TEAM- Mainly just me (Mel), my husband Ray helps out once in awhile and my good friend Sharon Lewis volunteers
her time to assist me when I start getting behind and need help. Rose Langdon- also volunteers her time to do
fundraisers; she is located in Pennsylvania and loves helping organizations and individuals raise money.
MISCONCEPTIONS- A couple of common misconceptions in regard to Mels Candles is:
Mel � I am Not a MAN- Mel is my nickname for Melissa
Mels Candles is NOT a large Company � I hand make all of my candles, tarts, lotions, body sprays etc. It cracks me up
when customers call wanting to speak to my customer service department, or head of production-I have none of that-
when you call for any reason you will get Me.
BEGINNING & NOW
I am a candle addict � my mother (Judy Riggs) came over and showed me how she made her soy candles.
I figured it would be a nice hobby that would save me $ by making my own candles instead of buying them.
Long story short to keep from boring you- I started selling them on E-bay.
Over the years I tweaked my candle formula and designs, added new products and supplies, and currently sell on E-bay,
Amazon, Etsy, Bonanza and of course this website.
