At age 13 Hart Main discovered a very serious problem with the world: there was a serious lack of manly candles. He noticed that although there was a plethora of different scents and colors, very few were ones he would classify as “manly”. For Hart this was just another problem with the world until he set his sights on a $1500 bicycle, the only issue was he needed money for it.

Hart and his family solved this dilemma by starting ManCans. ManCans produces candles made in soup cans that feature scents such as campfire, sawdust, and freshly cut grass. Hart’s business brings in over six figures each year, but even in his young age he still understands the importance of giving back to the community. ManCan primarily employs those who are developmentally challenged, and gives a chunk of their proceeds back to soup kitchens in Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and several other surrounding states. ManCans are distributed by Beaver Creek candles and are currently sold in every single state.
