ROSELAND — A South Side candle company is celebrating the opening of its shop this weekend in Roseland, which will also be used to help entrepreneurs grow their businesses.

Max Candle Co. opened its storefront at 11336 S. Michigan Ave. last week after more than five years of doing pop-ups at local markets and hosting candlemaking classes.

Patrons can shop the candlemaker’s products — like candles, wax melts and scented oils — as well as items from nine small businesses that make hair products, essential oils, clothing and jewelry.

A “makerspace” at the shop offers a membership program where budding entrepreneurs can get 20 hours of access every month to screenprinting equipment, office amenities, coworking space, a podcasting and content creation room and business consultations.
