Wax & Beyond is a candle shop in Coligny Plaza where the candles are made on site. Each round candle is built up in layers of colored wax and then carved by hand, which gives it its cut-out pattern. The walls are lined with them: beach scenes and holiday designs, cartoon and movie characters, and the logos of college and pro sports teams.
The shop takes custom orders, so if the team or design you want is not on the wall, ask. Visitors say the owner will walk you through how the candles are made and that the staff will pack them carefully for the trip home. The shop has no website of its own; call or email. For more gift shops in the plaza, see our Coligny Plaza shops directory.
