History
History
First opening its doors in 1906, the El Rey has been a centerpiece of downtown Chico’s cultural life for more than a century. Originally built as an opera house, it evolved through the decades into a grand movie palace and live‐performance venue. Its Spanish Revival façade, ornate murals, and iconic neon marquee became beloved local landmarks, drawing generations of moviegoers and music fans alike. From silent films and golden-age Hollywood premieres to legendary concerts and community gatherings, the El Rey has stood as a vibrant testament to Chico’s creative spirit and enduring love of the arts. Today, preservation efforts continue to ensure that this historic theater’s lights will keep glowing for years to come.

How to use
How to use
Following Candle Care helps to ensure product quality + longevity. We highly recommend following each of the following steps:
Trim your candle's wick to 1/4" before each lighting or once your candle has cooled.
Never attempt to trim a burning candle.
Discard the snipped portion in the trash; never leave wick trimmings in your candle jar.
The wick should always remain centered and away from the sides of the vessel.
Allow the wax to melt to the edges of the jar during each burn to prevent tunneling.
Safety first - because candles contain a small flame, we encourage following these rules:
Never leave a candle burning unattended, near a draft, or in reach of children or pets.
Don't burn your candle for more than 4 hours at a time.
Stop burning your candle when only 1/4" of wax remains.
Do not pick up a burning candle or immediately after it's been blown out.
Protect the surface underneath the candle no matter the material.
