Chandlr Shines at District 121: A McKinney, Texas Small Business Story
Chandlr, the locally owned candle company based in McKinney, Texas, recently brought its signature scents and vibrant energy to District 121 on June 6, 2025, the city’s premier destination for dining, entertainment, and community events. The event was more than just a pop-up—it was a celebration of local entrepreneurship, family, and the power of community connection.
A Warm Welcome at District 121
District 121 is known for its lively atmosphere, hosting everything from live music to family movie nights, and serving as a hub for McKinney’s best restaurants and entertainment. On this particular day, Chandlr’s team—myself (Josh), Zach, and Jay—set up our booth amidst the buzz of visitors eager to experience the latest in local shopping and festivities.
Before we even finished setting up, the unmistakable aroma of Chandlr candles drew in our very first customer—a testament to the appeal of our handcrafted, bold, and versatile products, all made right here in McKinney, Texas. Our mission has always been to create “absurdly good candles,” and the immediate response from District 121’s crowd proved that our passion resonates with our neighbors.
Family, Friends, and Moonlit Weaves
This event was special not just for the sales, but for the support system behind Chandlr. Zach and my mom joined us, bringing along our Moonlit Weaves line—featuring cozy stuffys and blankets that perfectly complemented the comforting ambiance of our candles. Our sister and friend Ellis were also there, helping us engage with the community and share the story behind our products.
