OneCoast and Langley Empire Brands Join Forces to Launch Candle Line Exclusively for Independent Specialty Retail Channel

OneCoast, the leader in nationwide sales and marketing services for gift, baby, fashion, and collegiate vendors and Langley Empire Candle Company, one of the fastest growing candle companies in the industry, are joining forces to launch a premium home fragrance brand, Boulevard, created exclusively for the Independent Specialty Retailer.

The new Boulevard brand celebrates unique and inspired designs with a focus on exceptional fragrances and a trend-right color palette. The product line includes fine Container Candles, Gift Collections, Candle warmers and melts, LED candles and an Outdoor Candle Collection. Boulevard has been designed to capture a lifestyle that has a broad appeal with consumers.

“We are a 60 year old candle manufacturer based in Kansas City and have developed a great business in many channels of distribution” says Rick Langley, President of Langley Empire Brands. “We believe that the independent specialty retailer is ready for an extensive, high quality product line that is built for them, and distributed to only the Specialty Retailer” continued Langley.

John Keiser, CEO of OneCoast stated, “OneCoast is excited to be partnering with an industry leading company such as Langley Empire Brands. It is exciting to be introducing a quality product that will only be distributed in the Independent Specialty Retail Channel. The product experience of the Langley Empire Brands combined with the Sales and Marketing expertise of OneCoast will be a great combination.”

Boulevard will be introduced to the retail market during the winter gift shows. Retailers can find it in the OneCoast showrooms: Atlanta: Building 2, 1800, Dallas: Showroom 256 and Las Vegas: Showroom C-801 or by connecting with a OneCoast representative at onecoast.com/find.
