What's your business, and who are your customers?
Candle-making classes. My customers are mainly 21 or older. I do offer classes to teens and young adults.
Tell us about yourself
I was looking to open it for adults so that they could have a great time doing something fun. I think the biggest thing that motivates me is meeting amazing people every day that I have a class.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Being open through the pandemic and still making it and growing every day.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
Having to make sure everything is ordered, so Waxery is never backed up.
