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.

Where campus meets community. Our Town & Gown Summer Social Series spotlights the local businesses that help define downtown Flint’s energy, and the places our students, faculty and neighbors call their own. Together, they create a connected experience that extends well beyond the classroom, shaping how we live, gather and engage in the city every day.

Today, we kick things off with a downtown destination, the Flint Farmers’ Market. A year-round public market established in 1905, it features 50+ vendors, including several produce purveyors, a meat market, a variety of poultry, breads, baked goods, cheeses, wine, an art gallery, a cafe, Middle Eastern and Mexican groceries, and many unique gifts—plus a diverse lineup of food vendors serving everything from quick bites to full meals. From May through October, another 25 vendors offer fresh produce, flowers, and arts & crafts.
