If you are independently wealthy and can actually afford to purchase a Yankee Candle this is the place for you! Sure they are expensive, but this is a candle lovers Mecca! They also have candle "activities" in the back. We had 3 young kids with us and they loved the candle dipping section. The young woman who helped them was... More

I was not prepared for what we entered!! The place is gigantic and has everything you could want to buy or see, and then some. Easily could get lost for a day or two in there!! Sadly, everything is quite expensive - even with the sales & deals. More

if you like yankee candles - you have to go here, they have it all - plus a christmas shop where it snows everyday. they have every size, shape and scent of yankee candle imaginable and a close-out area with items that are no longer made. this is not an outlet - full price - but they have it all.

We are certainly thankful for her recommendation! We arrived to be greeted by a very lovely older lady who asked where we lived, if we had been to a Yankee Flagship Store before,... More

This place is interesting, but so expensive. Some candles were $30 - crazy. But a great place to visit once in a while.. More
