Founded 175 years ago, the Candle-Lite Company is a key fixture in Leesburg, a small town in Ohio. This rural agricultural community, home to about 1,300 people, hosts a massive 900,000-square-foot facility where Candle-Lite handles manufacturing, storage, and distribution. Each year, the company produces 250 million candles right there in Leesburg, supplying more than 40 major retailers like Walmart, Kroger, and Walgreens. Besides their impressive production numbers, Candle-Lite is also a vital part of the local economy, providing jobs for 600 people. CEO Calvin Johnston points out that many employees have been dedicated to the company for their entire careers, with some working alongside family members from second or third generations.
