The big red King Candle can be found in the south west corner of the store, just south of the dip-your-own candles. A sign on the candle gives data about the candle.
Hi I'm
King
Candle
I have been part of Yankee Candle Flagship
store in South Deerfield over 20 years!
I was made with 1,377 pounds of wax and
6 feet of wick.
If lit, I would provide 64,652 hours
(that's 2,693 days, or 7 1/2 years!) of candlelight.
Thank you for visiting me here at Yankee Candle Flagship
