Yankee Candle Williamsburg..more information

[tiggerlover]

For those of you who were interested in the earlier thread about the new Yankee Candle store in Williamsburg, Virginia I thought I would share what I found out today. The store is supposed to be an exact replica of the store that is in Deerfield, Massachusetts and is due to open the day after Thanksgiving. I am so excited!!!! (Sandy get your sneakers ready for a marathon shopping day!)

For those of you who have never been to the Deerfield here is a link that will tell you all about it: http://www.yankeecandle.com/cgi-bin...t/About+Yankee+Candle/Visit+Us/Flagship+Store

Not only do they carry over 250,000 candles, they boast over 150 Yankee Candle scents. They have a holiday park, where it is Christmas every day of the year. They have candle dipping, and demonstrations of colonial candle making. There is a restaurant, cafe and General Store too. (Can you tell I am excited?)

I got all of this information from my local Yankee Candle store today. Now the hardest part will be waiting for it to open.

You know as much as you think it could be a duplicate of Deerfield I just have to feel since it is new it will be to some extent better! I am sure they will have some added touches that we do not have here. That is not to say ours is not fantastic ....I just think they will regionalize it a little.

Hmmm, it's about the same distance as the Deerfield store for me. If I head South instead of North, I'll be that much closer to WDW.

I wish they would build something like that in Florida. I love going to the one in Deerfield but it is a little far away for me.

You may be right on that. I am sure there will be some local touches for sure, especially geared to the Colonial Williamsburg theme. I love the Deerfield store and am just tickled this new one will be an hour or so away!
