Yankee Candle Company's flagship store in South Deerfield is like a theme park for tourists as well as shoppers. The sprawling flagship store is 90,000 square feet and manufactures candles with almost 200 fragrances and contains the following features: candle museum, general store, country kitchen pantry, Black Forest display, Bavarian Christmas Village, Nutcracker Castle, Santa's Workshop, Yankee Candy, Kringle Market Bakery and Cafe. Activities include an animatronic band, animatronic elves, dip your own candles, make your own candle jar, make a wax replica of your hand, and make your own puzzles; they also sell candles.

According their own website and the Roadside America website they are the world's largest candle store. The Roadside America site also states that they have the world largest candle - the King Candle.

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
Please come again!
