Historic Candy Store Chain Closing All Locations After 141 Years
Lammes Candies in Texas, which opened in 1885, announced it will be closing due to 'economic pressures.'
www.today.comLammes Candies is closing its retail locations after 141 years. The company plans an orderly wind-down, continuing online orders only until inventory runs out, with the flagship Austin store (5330 Airport Blvd) slated to stay open for the moment while other locations have shut or are closing.[2][3][4]
Key details:
- Founding and legacy: Lammes Candies was established in 1885 and grew into a Texas candy legacy over more than a century.[3]
- Locations affected: All retail stores are shutting, with only the Austin flagship remaining for an unspecified time, and the Round Rock location having already closed.[4][3]
- Reason given: The closures are attributed to unprecedented economic pressures and changing market conditions, with a plan to wind down operations while fulfilling outstanding orders and supporting employees during the transition.[1][2][4]
If you’re in Miami or elsewhere outside Texas and want to order Lammes Candies, you can still shop online until inventory runs out, though in-store access will be limited to the flagship Austin location for now. For the latest store-specific timelines or any new updates, I can monitor and summarize new statements as they’re released.[1]
