Updated: Manassas business of the year Shining Sol Candle Company founder slapped with no-trespassing order

MANASSAS -- Candlemakers aren’t welcome in the small four-space parking lot behind Shining Sol Candle Company.

Manassas police served the firm’s owner, Pete Evick, with a no-trespassing order this month that prohibits Evick from walking out of the back door of his shop at 9109 Center Street in Downtown Manassas onto the pavement behind the building.
