Hart Main is a young 14 year old who saw a problem and a potential solution. He often found himself teasing both his sister and mother over the fact that the candles they used always smelled “girly”. Main believed he could create candles that would be for men and have more manly smells rather than smells like “Summer breeze” or “springtime flowers”. Main used $100 of his own money and asked for a small loan from his parents of $200 to begin his business. He and his family then took the time to create their candles or as he called them “Mancans”. Some of the scents he made include: campfire, bacon, sawdust, grandpas pipe, fresh cut grass, new shoes, and many more. Main’s candles can be found in over 60 stores across the nation and he has reportedly sold over 9000 units so far, and he’s only 14. Main is an inspiration to young entrepreneurs everywhere as a young man who saw a problem with a new market and created a product to meet the needs of that market.

It is crazy how an idea came out something as simple as an innocent joke between he and some of his family members! I think it is also a great idea, it attracts a new type of audience.
This is amazing because it sounds like satire to me but it actually works!! I know men that would probably buy a tire-scented or gas-scented candle just for their mancaves! Great info, great product. would make for a great gift for a manly man.
I find this really funny. What a great idea to take something that is marketed to one gender and find a way to expand the market to the other gender. I wonder if there are any other products that could be marketed to the other gender. I actually would love to find these candles because some of the scents are interesting. Great post and thanks for sharing.
