Lammes Candies Announces Closure After 141 Years of Family Ownership
Austin, Texas -After 141 years of continuous family ownership and operation, Lammes Candies has announced it will be closing its business operations.
Founded in 1885, Lammes Candies has been a cherished part of the Texas confectionery tradition, known for its handcrafted sweets and commitment to quality. For generations, the company has remained dedicated to its founding values of exceptional products and outstanding customer service, becoming a beloved brand for customers across the state and beyond.
In recent years, the company has carefully evaluated shifts in the marketplace and the long-term sustainability of its operations. After thoughtful consideration, ownership has made the difficult decision to cease operations.
"This was not an easy decision," said the company's ownership team. "Lammes Candies has been more than a business-it has been a family legacy spanning generations. We are deeply grateful to our employees, customers, and community for their unwavering support over the past 141 years."
The company will begin an orderly wind-down of operations, including fulfilling remaining orders and supporting employees through the transition process.
Lammes Candies extends its heartfelt appreciation to its dedicated staff, loyal customers, and the broader community who have been part of its journey for more than a century.
Our flagship store is still open at 5330 Airport Blvd and online ordering as well as long as inventory lasts. Additional details regarding timelines and final operations will be shared as they become available.
