PROFILE |

It might have scents to match your mood or make your mouth water (from Home for the Holidays to Warm Apple Crisp), but The Yankee Candle Company is hoping "it" smells like success. The company makes and sells candles, known for their burning longevity and strong smells, in scores of scents; it also sells candleholders. Yankee Candle's products are sold by nearly 13,000 gift shops nationwide, as well as internationally through distributors. The company operates more than 145 namesake stores in 35 states, mostly in malls, and sells online and through catalogs. Chairman Mike Kittredge made his first candle in 1969 for his mother's Christmas gift. Investment firm Forstmann Little & Co. own two-thirds of Yankee Candle.
