About Us - To everything, there is a season. Time to move on.

The candle business is part of home decor, special event and personal care markets. No matter what else is going on, people still have weddings and birthdays and celebrate holidays. Have you been thinking about opening your own candle and gift store? This business offers you the ability to work for yourself and create candles and connections both locally and nationally. Maybe you prefer a location in your home town (other than Prescott) The fixtures and equipment can be moved to your location with some assistance to set up.

We are looking for someone to take over the business. Because the retail store is focused on hand made candles, made on site, it also includes additional curated handcrafted accessories. We'd love to meet entrepreneurs with great ideas about the business of their dreams.

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. We also use metal molds for pillar candles.

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 as long as possible. We use carefully chosen and tested fragrances and waxes.

This is us - photo taken just a few years ago. "It's only a paper moon" set was in San Diego.

Equipment includes wick waxing machine, a votive wick tabbing machine, multi-head wax dispenser and large stainless steel wax melting tanks; inventory of original silicone rubber mold pillar and floating candle designs, printed votive boxes... Please contact us! kentb@armadillawax.com
