Candle Stock Waxes at Close-Out Room

When you make more than 500,000 candles a day, there are bound to be some that don’t turn out. These make up the inventory of the close-out room at General Wax & Candle, where you’ll find the best buys on candles in Southern California.

For example, a 3-by-9-inch scented candle that retails for $7.98 sells in the close-out room for $2, the 3-inch diameter ball candle that retails at $4.50 is 75 cents, and a jumbo votive that you’ll find at the stores for $2 is only 35 cents.

The newly expanded warehouse is also jammed with first-quality candles in many shapes and sizes.

One phase of the remodeled outlet is dedicated to providing expert advice for candle-making aficionados.
