A brand built around family and friendship.
Cork & Candles is a family-owned experiential scent bar — a comfortable, relaxing space where guests gather to make custom candles in a welcoming group setting. Our mantra, “Where Friends Gather,” runs through everything we do, from the scents on our wall to the partners we welcome into our franchise family.
Where Friends Gather.
Cork & Candles exists to provide an inviting atmosphere where friends, families, and co-workers can gather so that they can build deeper relationships and stronger communities. Franchisees have a key role in this mission as they connect their communities, play host to milestones like birthdays and first dates, and mentor employees on how to provide amazing hospitality.
