Welcome to another episode of Getting Neighborly, where Dave welcomes Joel Joseph, the owner of Rocky Creek Candle Company. Joel takes us through the fascinating world of custom candle-making, where customers can choose from nearly 100 fragrance oils to create unique scents—resulting in over a billion possible combinations. We'll explore the personalized experience that Rocky Creek offers, from one-on-one sessions with scent specialists to creating custom labels and even engaging children with sand wax art. Joel shares his journey from telecommunications to entrepreneurship, the rapid growth of Fairview, and the support of the local community and the Allen Fairview Chamber of Commerce.

We also talk about how Rocky Creek Candle Company focuses on making memorable experiences, customer engagement, and Joel's business strategies, including social media presence and partnerships with other small businesses. Whether you're interested in team-building events, private parties, or simply creating a unique fragrance, Rocky Creek Candle Company offers a welcoming and creative space for all.
