Title

BITTER CREEK CANDLE SUPPLY!

Description

Rich Hansen, first became interested in candlemaking as a hobby. Searching the internet for sources of instructions and information, he found a site called The Candle Cauldron™, where he learned all about the art of candlemaking. He caught on to the craft very quickly, but soon realized that there were very few good sources for supplies at the time, and that those available were limited in their selection and somewhat expensive. The industry definitely needed a good honest & reputable supplier. So he decided he would invest in buying his supplies in bulk so he could save money in the long run by selling what he didn't use himself to other candlemakers who wanted to save some money.

In 1998 he enlisted the help of Doneen St.John, creator of The Candle Cauldron™, as his webmaster, and had a website created for what began as just a part-time side business. As more & more candlemakers became aware of the selection of high quality supplies he was offering to others at such a great savings, interest grew rapidly, and before he knew it, Bitter Creek Candle Supply was born! This soon became a full time business for both of us.

Since then, our company has grown from only a couple of part time employees to an average of around 40 full time employees! Due to a lot of hard work and dedication, we have quadrupled in size and have become one of the largest as well as the best candle suppliers online today! In July of 1999, the company moved to a new building in Ashland Wisconsin, and after shortly out growing it, added on a new 6,000 square foot warehouse facility. Only a few months later in 2000 we outgrew our facilities again, and built another 8,000 square foot warehouse! Throughout that year we had many new expansions including building new larger areas for our packing & re-packaging departments, and moving & remodeling our fragrance department to make room for our ever growing line. During 2001, we expanded and remodeled our back office area, and in 2002 we finished building our third 14,000 square foot warehouse addition! In 2003 we built yet another 4,000 square foot building, for a total of approximately 37,000 square feet! As of January 2003 we bought out another supplier and launched Bitter Creek South in Houston Texas, which we have since moved to a new 20,000 square foot warehouse! We are currently working on moving our administrative offices to a building next door and we will be converting our old front office to a showroom for BC North customers! We will have a sample sniffing station that will include all of the fragrances from both BC North and BC South, as well as various other items on display. There is also a showroom at the new BC South building which includes sniffing samples of both fragrance lines, glassware, and other products too!
