Our Story

Coffee Shop Candle Company is an Illinois, home-based 100% pure soy wax candle company owned and operated by Tracy Blanchard.

In 2023 I retired from a 44 year career in grocery retail doing everything from bagging groceries to becoming a district manager.

After a year of doing various volunteering, I decided I wanted to do something to earn a little extra income. God put it on my heart that candle making might be an avenue to do just that. Meanwhile, a friend visited me and mentioned that she loved the smell of fresh brewed coffee and really wished she could find a candle that captured that scent.

Thus Coffee Shop Candle Company was born!

My goal is to deliver a quality product made with eco-friendly materials utilizing my retail experience to provide an outstanding customer experience.
