ABOUT SHOPDENKAR.COM & OUR DENKAR CANDLES & GIFTS
This website hosts all our products. DenKar Candles have been Homemade and Hand-poured in Alabama since 2002. Dennis & Karen Forbus, owners, have recently been featured by many ABC, CBS, NBC, and Fox Networks across the country; talking about their local business, and how they've been creating this magic perfection since Feb. 4, 2002. Starting first in a small store in Alexandria, AL; called DenKar Discount Depot. A year later, we opened another store in Anniston, AL, and run a wholesale truck route throughout Calhoun County.
Since that time, we opened another retail store in Moody, AL., but it was short lived due to Covic-19, we closed all locations.
Today, we still remain in the candle & gifts business, but only online and working from our home in Leeds, Alabama. We have spent thousands of dollars, and many years, trying to perfect our candles, by using only the earth's BEST earth-friendly ingredients, and putting four times more in our products than other candle companies. "Although they're not Perfect; They're Pretty Darn Close!"
In the Fall of 2024, DenKar Candle & Gifts became a proud sponsor of the Birmingham Bulls Hockey Organization; and we sponsor the KISS CAM during every home game. We enjoyed meeting so many new friends and players, while selling our candles. We created a 2024-2025 Birmingham Bulls Limited Edition Candle called; "Pomegranate Power Play," that was only available at the Bulls
Merchandise Table, while we sold player candles to all the hockey fans.
We have been asked many times how our DenKar Candles are made? Although it takes more than melting several pounds of paraffin wax in our big wax melting tank. Then pulling out what wax is needed. More than mixing our ingredients together with the color dyes, in a smaller mixing tank. And even more than bringing it all together, hand-pouring into about 150 mason jars, where we've placed the non-toxic, lead-free, pre-waxed wicks in the center of each jar. Then it's time to allow the candles to set up and cure. Then comes the jar tops, labels, boxed, and shipped. We repeat this process for each scent that we produce. The secret remains the ingredients, the measurements used, and the right timing to mix it all together.
We've been working to perfect our products for over 23 years. That's how we can guarantee them to last longer, (120+ hours), burns evenly and entirely, (no wasted wax), Non-toxic, pre-waxed wicks used, (smoke less/ easy-to-lite), knowing our scent will always out lasts the wax, all the way to the bottom. (that's why we use 4x the amount of ingredients). Nothing is worse than having a half burnt candle that no longer offers the scent, or a wick that will not stay lit. And we've all had those candles that burns uneven and ends up leaving wasted wax in the jar. Well with DenKar Candles, you'll never have to worry about these things. In fact, the biggest problem you'll ever have with DenKar Candles, is choosing one of our 50+ scents. One way to solve this problem is to order more than one, then you'll find your favorites along the way.
