How did Nu-Scents begin?

In 1999, Nu-Scents Candle was founded in the basement of the owner’s home. The goal of the owner and her daughter was to manufacture candles for resale at area craft and trade shows. In 2000, the business relocated to a retail store in downtown Richmond, IL. The shop contained a retail showroom and an area for manufacturing.

It became apparent to the owner that many customers wanted to learn how to make their own candles. The company began ordering larger amounts of materials and started teaching classes to those who wanted to learn how to make candles. The success of classes and the increased interest in candle making supplies created a need for more space. A warehouse was leased where the company expanded into the candle supply industry.

In 2003, the business moved to a new location in McHenry, IL. This location offered an adequate warehouse and office in addition to sufficient retail space. Along with this move came the creation of a new line of soy based candles named “Soy-Scents.” With the success of their business, Nu-Scents decided to venture online; thus, the website: www.nuscentscandle.com was created. The internet company served to market the new line of candles and offered supplies to candle makers.

Eventually, Nu-Scents put their soy candle line on hold and became a major distributor of soy wax and other related candle making supplies. The business simultaneously branched out to offer a wide selection of bath, body, and soap making supplies. The company is currently focusing its energy on the internet business and is growing steadily. A recent move to Genoa City, WI has given Nu-Scents the ability to increase and widen their product lines. Nu-Scents’ variety of candle, soap, bath, and body supplies allows hobbyists and businesses to purchase all of their products in one great location.
