Talk:Yankee Candle

Notes

Considering that my mother works at Yankee Candle (though she's currently trying to bail out due to the decline in working environment), and the store is a mere 45 minute walk from my house, I really ought to go take some pictures and get specific data from the store.--Quintucket 17:49, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

Conflict of interest

Why is it that Yankee Candles is the ONLY candle company allowed to be listed with wiki? If they can be listed here then all the other companys should have the same right! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.178.135.63 (talk) 19:07, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

I know this is a little late (ok, a lot late), but it should be addressed. The idea that "other articles exist" is not a good reason for inclusion...ever. This article exists because the company has many reliable sources to indicate the company's notability. If other companies can show that, then, by all means, they should have articles as well. However, if they can't, then they should not exist, which is where the majority of other candle companies would fall. --13² 21:52, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Store in Broadway, Worcestershire, England - Only dedicated YC store outside North America?

There is an independently-owned store in the Cotswold tourist village of Broadway, Worcestershire, England52.035437°N 1.862451°W / 52.035437; -1.862451 which, other than a few vintage posters, sells only Yankee Candle products. Although YC products are available on the shelves of a number of larger stores in the UK, to my knowledge this is the only dedicated Yankee Candle shop outside North America. Is this assumption correct? Certainly not, Until Jan 2011 The Delight group of 7 shops across the Midlands in England were exclusivly Yankee Candle until they went into administration in January 2011 and Magic By Candlelight, a small shop in Stafford, England was solely Yankee Candle in the years 2004 - 2011 when it began to sell other products with a better profit margin but is still 90% Yankee Candle —Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.154.73.49 (talk) 21:36, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

The shop has no sign nor name, and is owned and operated by the nearby Hamiltons Sweet Shop. Receipts (UKUS: bills) bear the name Hamiltons. I have added an image to the main article, and there's another here. The shop is located in Cotswold Court, a small shopping arcade (UKUS: mall) off the main high street.

Other languages

I would like to translate this article to norwegian. How can I do that? :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nissjenta (talk • contribs) 12:15, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

Create an account on the Norwegian Wikipedia and start the article there. Then read WP:IL on info on how to link the two articles. — HelloAnnyong ^{(say whaaat?!)} 12:20, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

Place of Manufacture

I am very surprised that this article does not mention WHERE the candles are manufactured. I would like to know this please. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.205.119.43 (talk • contribs) 16:12, 2 October 2012
