opens for business

The Massachusetts-based

a new open air lifestyle center, the approximate 2,000 square-foot store

showcases Yankee Candle's signature Housewarmer jar candles and many other

candle styles in 115 fragrances.

The store interior

is designed to display the candles in a warm and attractive, yet easy-to-shop

format. Initially, the store will employ several full-time and part-time

employees.

The Peachtree

City store joins 153 other Yankee Candle company-owned stores located

nationwide.
