Weston Bend Candle Company is a family-run handmade-candle shop at 424 Main Street in downtown Weston, Missouri, pouring seasonal scents for a storefront that KCUR listed among the town’s maker stops in 2024.

Description

Weston Bend Candle Company occupies a storefront at 424 Main Street in downtown Weston, a Platte County river town on the Missouri side of the Kansas City metro — not Weston, Florida or Weston-super-Mare.1 The official Contact page publishes that street address, labels it “Visit our shop,” and posts in-store hours.1

The company’s own site describes the goods as “handmade and meticulously tested with the higest quality ingredients to ensure a long-lasting and meaningful burn time,” sold by scent and by season, including a current autumn collection, a winter/holiday collection, and a beeswax line.2 First-party product pages list votives, soy clamshell melters, tea lights, tarts, tins, recycled-glass jars, single and double woodwicks, bamboo reed diffusers and room sprays, with votives priced at $3.65 on the autumn collection as of this writing.3 The site also takes mail-order: the Contact FAQ says orders ship USPS after 3–5 business days’ prep, with Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover and PayPal accepted.1

KCUR’s 14 September 2024 beginner’s guide to Weston named the shop, alongside renditions Polish pottery and northland-artists-gallery, as a place to “source handcrafted items for yourself or to gift” — “fresh scents from the Weston Bend Candle Company.”4 A KMTV / 3 News Now holiday-shopping feature likewise walked Main Street into the shop, under the slightly shorter name “Weston Bend Candle Shop,” and linked the company domain.5

This is Weston, Missouri, not a second location. No other storefront is published on the pages fetched.

Ownership and history

First-party pages do not name an owner or a founding year. “ for both as first-party facts. Press and directory sources name different people at different dates; they are printed, not merged.

  • 26 October 2016 — FOX 4’s Kathy Quinn walked the shop for a Halloween piece on “haunted” Weston. The report quotes “owner Jeff” on candles that “have a tendency to jump out” of their bins.6
  • August 2019 — a TripAdvisor review of a candle-pouring party at the shop thanks “Weston Bend Candles owners, Jeff and Angie King.”7
  • KSHB 41 (undated on the live page; the story links KSHB’s coverage of the December 2021 Kentucky tornadoes) identifies Angie Vasquez as “Weston Bend Candle Company owner” and Sarah Vasquez as “Weston Bend Candle Company manager,” and quotes both on a Caus Cups fundraiser that sent 25 percent of profits to a cause the customer chose. The article links westonbendcandleco.com.8
  • Yelp’s listing names the business owner Angie V. and carries an owner-written blurb calling the shop “a totally family run business” in “our beautiful new location in downtown Weston MO.”9

Jeff / Jeff and Angie King / Angie Vasquez / Angie V. are not collapsed into one identity here. A name-change, a succession, or a directory error would all explain the spread; none of those readings is sourced well enough to pick. Sarah Vasquez is named as manager in the KSHB piece, not as owner.

A founding year is not findable on the official site. The earliest dated press located in this pass is the October 2016 FOX 4 visit; that is a latest-possible-open bound, not a founding year, and is not treated as one.

Missouri Secretary of State lookup was not available (Cloudflare challenge).
