Our Story
The Candle Cottage
The Candle Cottage was founded in 1976 by John and Gayle Luck and their son Trey.
Initially, the company only made candles for their own retail shop located in Gatlinburg, TN. But soon after, the company transitioned into becoming a supplier to other stores and shops as well.
Approaching 50 years in business, The Candle Cottage has been blessed to grow from a family garage to it’s current home located in the foothills of the beautiful, Great Smoky Mountains, Tennessee. We also have our retail store in The Villages in Gatlinburg we invite you to visit.
We remain committed to the core values of providing our customers a premium made candle, at a fair price, and with excellent customer care and service.
The Candle Cottage is proud to be known as a country candle brand but we are always exploring new products and are excited about introducing those to the market.
We would like to say “Thank You” to our many loyal customers that have enjoyed our candles for many years and we sincerely welcome our newest customers to our growing company as well. It is our customers that make us successful and we are happy to serve you.
Sincerely,
Terry & Michelle Carpenter
