Ron and Carol Reed founded The Payson Candle Factory in 1979. Since opening their first, 800 sq.ft. store, they have since expanded to just under 6000 sq. ft. of candles, gifts and collectibles. Open 7 days a wick, the candle factory has become a favorite destination stop for visitors, not only from the states, but from all over the world. Selection, depth, and quality, at competitive pricing, has enabled the Reeds to become one of the oldest, continuous retailers in Payson and the Rim country. |

| MAIN ENTRANCE |
|
| Over the past 26 years, our expansion has presented it self with some stressing yet interesting challenges. We currently have 6 buildings, 11 store fronts with 11 front doors (14 back doors). One-half of course, have been secured with all but one, altered for handicap. The 2nd photo (below) shows the full Candle Factory from one end to the other, outlined by the string of white Christmas lights. |
Over the years, more than 300 businesses have occupied the Swiss Village - some relocating while the majority just closed. We currently occupy 80% of the South end of the Village where at one time, 16 businesses florished. |
