Williamsburg Soap and Candle Factory

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Williamsburg Soap and Candle Company first opened in 1964. It was located near the Williamsburg Pottery Factory. It was an entire complex that consisted of shops, restaurants, and a manufacturing plant that made the soap and candles. At one time, it was a major supplier of candles around the world. All of its candles were made at the on-site manufacturing plant, and all of the candle-making equipment were designed and built by employees. Williamsburg Soap and Candle was unable to compete in a competitive market leading to their closure in 2005.
