About Us - To everything, there is a season.

Have you been thinking about opening your own candle store? We will train candle making. This store is in a great location, an amazing space with fixtures in place and highway visibility ~ just what you've been looking for.

It's time to retire so we are looking for someone will take over the business. Because the store is focused on hand made candles, made on site, it could also include additional curated handcrafted works - just a thought. Let us know your thoughts. We'd love to meet entrepreneurs with great ideas about the store and available space. No phone calls please.

Send an email through sales@armadillawax.com Thanks!

Why ArmadillA and not ArmadillO!

The first thing people often ask us is about the name. You'll notice that we misspelled armadillo by changing the "o" to an "a". One of the original members lived for a time in Texas and it seemed appropriate to use the Texas pronunciation. We still have a connection to Texas in that three of our beautiful Granddaughters were born in Texas.

All of our candles are made in Prescott, Arizona. The candles you see on our web site are the result of the evolution of design ideas, molds and techniques. Just so you know, all of our designs are original and many of our candles are poured in molds that we have made.

Everybody has a philosophy about their work - about life...it often seems that it just comes down to something as simple as "focus and simplify". Our goal has always been to make the best candles so that they will burn clean and burn as long as possible. We use carefully chosen and tested fragrances and waxes.
