Dear friends, families and customers,
It is with mixed emotions that William and I announce our retirement from Forest City Candles. After more than two decades of dedicated service and tireless efforts, we have decided to step down from our roles and hand over the reins to the next generation of leaders.
Starting Forest City Candles in 1998 was a dream come true for us. What began as a passion project in our kitchen quickly grew into a successful business that brought our handmade candles to retailers across Ontario and beyond. Over the years, our commitment to quality and the use of only the finest ingredients have earned us a reputation for producing some of the best candles on the market.
We are happy to announce that Defranco Commerce and their amazing team will be taking over the reigns. Myself and William have absolutely faith and trust in this amazing group that we know each one of you will continue to enjoy the candles made by this amazing brand. We understand now that Forest City Candles requires a force much larger to run it now than what William and I can do, so this is a great opportunity now for us to retire.
Despite the change in ownership, one thing remains the same - the passion and commitment to quality. The recipes, processes, and traditions have been kept intact, ensuring that Forest City Candles continues to deliver the same high-quality products that customers have come to love.
Our journey with Forest City Candles has been a rollercoaster of ups and downs, but we wouldn't have it any other way. The candle industry has been such a big part of our lives, and we are grateful for all the opportunities it has brought us.
As we embark on this new chapter in our lives, we want to take a moment to thank our customers, family and friends for all the support and encouragement they have given us. We will always be an integral part of the Forest City Candles family, and we wish the company all the best for the future.
Wishing you all the best, Abigail and William Martel
