We Opened a Store! Visit Rise & Pine in Lee, Massachusetts

Well, we did a thing.

After years of pouring candles, packing orders, dreaming up questionable candle names, and growing Rise & Pine one step at a time, we officially opened the doors to our very first brick-and-mortar store this summer!

On July 15, 2026, Rise & Pine Candles & Gifts opened at the Lee Premium Outlets in Lee, Massachusetts, right in the heart of the Berkshires. And honestly, sometimes it still feels a little surreal to say that.

From Candle Making to Our Own Store

Rise & Pine started with the two of us making candles and building this little business from the ground up. Over the years, it has grown into something much bigger than we ever imagined, but opening a physical store was a whole new adventure.

There was a LOT to do to turn an empty retail space into something that actually felt like us. Shelves were built, displays came together, products were made, signs went up, and somehow, eventually, it started looking like the Rise & Pine store we had pictured in our heads.

We wanted the space to feel like stepping into our little corner of the woods: warm, outdoorsy, cozy, slightly weird, and filled with things that make you happy.

And on July 15, we finally got to unlock the doors and welcome people inside.

We're More Than Just Candles

Obviously, you'll find plenty of candles.

Our shelves are stocked with our hand-poured Rise & Pine candles, including the quirky scent names we're known for. From cabins and campfires to foggy fall mornings, Sasquatch encounters and other slightly questionable outdoor adventures, there's a little something for everyone.

But one thing we really wanted when opening our store was for Rise & Pine to be more than just a candle shop.

You'll also find a constantly changing collection of gifts, apparel, home goods and fun finds, including things like:

• T-shirts, sweatshirts, hats and other apparel
• Wax melts, room sprays and home fragrance
• Soaps and bath & body goodies
• Mugs and drinkware
• Blankets and cozy finds
• Jewelry and accessories
• Stickers
• Snacks and treats
• Unique gifts and plenty of other things you probably didn't know you needed

We carefully choose products that feel at home alongside Rise & Pine: outdoorsy, cozy, funny, a little unexpected, and never too serious.

Basically, you might come in to smell a candle and leave with a sweatshirt, a mug, three stickers and a snack. We fully support this behavior.

A Little Piece of Rise & Pine in the Berkshires

The Berkshires felt like such a natural home for our first store.

So much of Rise & Pine has always been inspired by the outdoors: mountains, pine trees, cabins, hiking trails, campfires, crisp fall mornings, nights under the stars and all the little adventures in between.

Now we get to share that with people visiting the Berkshires from all over, along with locals who have already made our little shop part of their regular outlet trips.

One of our favorite parts of having a physical store has been getting to actually meet you. After years of seeing names come through on online orders and talking with customers through a screen, having people walk through the door, smell every candle, laugh at the names and tell us which one is their favorite has been pretty incredible.

Come Visit Us!

If you're planning a trip to the Berkshires, spending a day shopping at the outlets, or just looking for something a little different, we'd love for you to stop by.

We're incredibly grateful for everyone who has supported Rise & Pine online over the years and everyone who has already walked through the doors of our new store. Opening a brick-and-mortar has been exciting, exhausting, terrifying, rewarding, and one of the coolest things we've ever done.

We're still learning as we go, but we wouldn't have it any other way.

See you in Lee. 🌲
