Southern Scentsations is Flat Rock Our Hometown January 2020 Featured Business

Southern Scentsations Inc. Flat Rock Michigan

Southern Scentsations Inc. was founded on the concept that “necessity is the mother of invention”.

Beth Eggert began making candles in the late 1990s. She quickly found out that there were no candle supplies companies in the local area. So, in 1999, Beth and her husband, Doug started selling candle supplies at their house. They said it was a small start, with only 10 different scents and supplies for soy candles. Within two years, they had grown out of their home and opened a store in Flat Rock.

Ten years later, Beth and Doug had outgrown their first shop and moved into their current location in the old Kmart Plaza. They now supply everything needed for candles and all types of waxy fragrance melts. They also added bath and body supplies, everything needed for balms, scrubs, soaps and much more. When asked why their business has been so successful, Beth stated, they are the only wholesale location in southeast Michigan. They have people travel all the way from Windsor Ontario, Traverse City in northern Michigan, Chicago Illinios, as well as locally. Beth said their customers have been incredibly loyal, some customers from when it was still just a home based operation.

Southern Scentsation Inc. website has a long list of items for purchase and can be shipped nationwide. They offer candle making classes and offer them for free if you buy a candle kit. Beth and Doug also offer bath bomb classes and cold process classes.

WELCOME TO FLAT ROCK

The first Euro-American settlers in Flat Rock were Michael Vreeland and his five grown sons between 1811 and 1820. Michael had been captured by British Rangers during the Revolutionary War and released after American independence.

The family purchased 800 acres (3.2 km2). The town was called the Village of Vreeland until 1838 when the Vreeland family sold off the majority of the land and relinquished control of the area. The Vreeland families built the first grain and lumber mill, having brought the grinding stones from New York.

Descendants of Michael Vreeland still live in the town and attend Flat Rock public schools, being the seventh generation to reside in the town their family founded.
