In this next installment of our Town & Gown Summer Social Series, we feature Rych Wick Candles, 522 S. Saginaw Street.

At Rych Wicks Candles, creativity starts with a scent. Flint’s first luxury candle bar offers a laid-back, upscale space where you can blend your own custom candle or choose from more than 60 fragrances for wax melts. Whether it’s a date night, a night out with friends or a little time to reset, the experience is designed to be equal parts relaxing and hands-on. Founded by three friends turned sisters, Rych Wicks was inspired by a simple idea: bring something vibrant, creative and therapeutic to downtown Flint. Today, it’s a space where connection and self-care come together—one custom pour at a time. Walk in, take a breath and leave with something that’s entirely your own.

New month. New goals. Same Wolverine energy. 💙💛 Hello, June — let’s make it a good one.
