Made Lifestyle Collection, LLC announced today that it has acquired Aria Candles (www.ariacandles.com), an independent specialty-branded scented candle company, from Jansen Candle Creations, LLC, a limited liability company.
Made Lifestyle Collection is not putting up any cash to acquire Aria Candles but instead has agreed to absorb the considerable debt accrued by the parent company.
Chuck Holliday, Made Lifestyle Collection Founder and Owner, commented, “We are pleased to welcome Aria Candles to the Made Lifestyle Collection family. Aria Candles has compelling growth opportunities, both here and abroad, providing Made with cross-platform growth potential as well as immediate financial benefits. Aria Candles will enhance our overall margins, earnings, and cash flow profile and is expected to provide an immediate accretion to our adjusted earnings.”
Aria Candles will rebrand as Aria Candle Company and relocate production from Chicago to Charlotte, NC after closing of the transaction (November 2).
Founded in 2016, Aria Candles has dedicated itself to creating and sharing memorable fragrance experiences for its customers. From classic apothecary jars to more contemporary pillars, and from paraffin to soy waxes, the brand has an expansive line of products made with meticulous care and craftsmanship by its team in River North, Chicago. Founder Emely Jansen will exit the company. Fashion Model Renee “Raven” Rodrigues has been named Creative Director.
