Founded by Madison Lunde, Operation Wax specializes in premium, small-batch candles and body care products rooted in clean living. In addition to its retail storefront and interactive Candle Bar, the company offers a Mobile Candle Pouring Bar that brings a customizable, hands-on experience to local venues, private parties, corporate events, and community gatherings.

Madison joined the Greendale Chamber of Commerce to expand her network, build meaningful local partnerships, and connect with fellow business owners. As the business continues to grow, she is particularly interested in collaborating with organizations and event hosts seeking unique experiential offerings for their guests.

We are proud to have Operation Wax as a member and encourage our community to visit their Southridge Mall location to experience their products and candle-making studio firsthand.

Our Purpose

Connect with like-minded professionals

During our monthly Power Hour meetings, members share their expertise and current developments within their industry, paving the way for new business opportunities and referrals.

Community Driven

We're small, and that's the way we like it. It allows us more time to build lasting relationships with individuals that share our passion for serving Greendale.

We Thrive on Commerce

Our members are made up of savvy business owners and top representatives of every civic organization in Greendale. Together we form a cohesive unit focused on helping your business thrive.
