The Story

What began as a spontaneous Grand Canyon road trip in 2018 turned into the spark that fueled the creation of a brand dedicated to creative freedom, mindful design, and thoughtfully crafted products.

Originally from the Chicago area, Ambush Candle Co. set its roots in Traverse City, Michigan. Starting small, we moved between workspaces and studios, operated our own retail store for several years, and ultimately settled into our current facility in the summer of 2023.

At Ambush Candle Co., every product reflects our commitment to quality, creativity, and sustainability through American manufacturing and meticulous attention to detail. We take pride in offering items that elevate the everyday experience. Whether it’s filling a room with a comforting scent or creating a moment of calm, our mission is to craft products that resonate with our customers and bring warmth into their spaces.
