Yankee Store

As a male, I feel that the world of candles is one that is firmly lost on me and my unromantic brain. All I ever see when I see candles is a potential fire hazard and the resulting emotional turmoil as I run into my house to see which of my possessions I would pick up in such a scenario, with loving pictures of my family and girlfriend sacrificed for my phone and laptop!
Therefore I usually like to stay away from areas like this, but I have recently learned that my girlfriends mother loves these Yankee candles. I never knew what differentiated them, but I have soon learned it is their size, glass jars and ridiculous amounts of varieties.
In here there all the different scents you could ever imagine, with lots of different categories that all seemed to stat with F, like fresh, floral, fruit and food! There are many other lovely little gifts and trinkets to treat yourself and the loved ones in your life. A lovely clean, well laid out store that is a must see for and budding candle enthusiast/​pyromaniac out there!

As a recent addition to Ards Shopping Centre, the Yankee Candle Store is a pleasure to both the eyes and nose. With its arrangements of flowers scattered throughout the store, this is literally a breath of fresh air in the commercialised shopping centre.
Upon entering I am instantly thrilled to find that the usual dull metal shopping baskets have been replaced with red gingham wicker baskets– which instantly makes my shopping experience much more enjoyable (largely because I feel like Little Red Riding Hood). In this particular store, the staff members are friendly (without crossing over that fatal line of becoming pestering) and I feel free to shop in peace and at my own pace.
As well as probably stocking every possible scent imaginable, the Yankee Candle Store also offers a fantastic range of home decorations, with everything from ornaments to sentimental signs.
Although this branch is quite small in comparison to others, the space is used well– creating an almost homely atmosphere.

The Yankee Store is a very welcome addition to Ards Shopping Centre, it makes the whole place look and smell better. Not that it smelled funny in the first place, I would never suggest that.
Walking past you are lured in by the luscious scents and this is just me imagine what it would do to someone who actually like candles.
The shop itself is stocked to the brim with Yankee Candles in different designs and flavours. After walking in I took a note to self, come here at Christmas I could get half of my presents in one shop. Yankee Store does not just stock candles it stocks home ware items that are of the Cath Kidson genre. You could imagine seeing the items from the Yankee store displayed in Ideal home magazine. Very crisp and clean, items that will add to the theme of your house.
It is absolutely perfect place to shop, kind and helpful staff that will even wrap your purchase if you as nicely. This is worthy of every one of its 5 stars, classy and elegant!
