Hart Main, a 13 year old boy, decided to take an interesting twist on an already existing idea. his sister was selling candles for a fundraiser supporting her school, and he realized he would like to do the same, although he wanted to change the scents. he decided most guys dont want to smell like lavender and fresh laundry.

So Main decided to start producing manlier scents, such as fresh cut grass, bacon, and a new baseball mitt scent! as prices of the candles changed while figuring out new expenses, Main decided to set up a paypal account on his website so that it would be easy for his customers to purchase candles. not only is his business for-profit, but it also has a charity edge to it. the candles are made in soup cans, him and his mother buy the soup, donate it to soup kitchens, and then take back the empty cans!

the candles are made in his kitchen, but Main says that they are looking for a new space that is bigger to make the candles in. while Main’s sales and popularity is growing, he stays humbled by the simple idea of just adding some spice to an old idea!
