Sprinkles Cupcakes<\/a>, a national chain with 20 locations, including one in Legacy West, officially closed all of its doors (and ATMs) today, according to a video posted by founder Candace Nelson last night.<\/p>\n According to some commenters and alleged employees, the closure came with less than a day\u2019s notice. Nelson sold the company to a private equity firm in 2012 and shared the news via TikTok<\/a> as she learned of it.<\/p>\n Now, after two decades, the brand has reportedly shuttered all 20 storefronts nationwide, effective Wednesday, December 31, 2025. The announcement came with less than a day\u2019s notice. Founder Candace Nelson, who sold the company to a private equity firm in 2012, shared the news via social media in a reel<\/a> posted the same day as the closures were to take effect.\u00a0<\/p>\n @candacenelson<\/a> Today is Sprinkles\u2019 final day. As many of you know, I started Sprinkles in 2005 with a KitchenAid mixer and a big idea. Over the years, we expanded across the country and launched the Cupcake ATM. I sold Sprinkles in 2012 and have no ownership or operational involvement in the company. Still, it\u2019s surreal to see this chapter come to a close \u2013 and it\u2019s not how I imagined the story would unfold. I\u2019m deeply grateful to the fans, customers, and community who showed up, celebrated with us, and made Sprinkles part of their traditions \u2013 and to the team who made it all happen. I\u2019ll always be proud of what we built. Today, my heart is with the Sprinkles employees. \ud83d\udc94 If you have stories about how Sprinkles Cupcakes added a little extra sweetness, comfort, or connection to your life, please share them in the comments. #sprinklescupcakes<\/a> #sprinkles<\/a> \u266c original sound \u2013 Candace Nelson<\/a><\/p>\n The Legacy West location is listed as permanently closed online, though Sprinkles has not made a statement on their social media pages. The last Instagram post, posted three days ago, advertises a New Year\u2019s special, though the location closed New Year\u2019s Eve.<\/p>\n
