Hart Main is a young 14 year old kid that came up with this idea of his own company out of no where. His sister was doing a school project about candles and he thought that they were “girly.” He thought why are there no manly candles? And so his brand was born. His family had no idea that he was going to pursue the dream but he really wanted to. He was able to create a candle for men and named it “Manly Scented Candles.” His brand started with a total of $300 and a way to make candles. Hart began making candles and made a lot. The available scents include: Campfire, Bacon, Sawdust, Fresh Cut Grass, Grandpa’s Pipe, and more. Today, ManCans candles are in over 60 stores across the country and have sold about 9,000 units. His product is sold in over 60 stores across the country and is growing rapidly. He is only 14 years old and is still in school. He is showcasing his entrepreneurship mind at a very young age. He was able to get his product into stores and make his brand and story known with only $300 to start. What makes this product interesting is that he made something that no one had thought of before even though candles have been around for ages. It goes to show that there is always room for entrepreneurship.
This is such a crazy story hearing how Hart was kind of giving his sister a hard time about candles being girly but then completely takes that idea to make a business. Hart found a new way of delivering value to a market that no one had thought about before.
