Lammes Candies first opened in Texas’ capital city back in 1885, becoming a Lone Star staple for its renowned chocolate-covered strawberries and chocolate-covered pralines. In spring 2026, the business confirmed that all of its retail locations \u2014 including its original and flagship store at 5330 Airport Blvd., Austin, TX 78751 \u2014 would be closing.<\/p>\n
“This was not an easy decision,” the company’s ownership team said in a release at the time. “Lammes Candies has been more than a business \u2014 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.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
Now, that 141-year legacy will continue, with Lammes Candies now under new ownership and reviving the classic Texas brand. Owners confirmed the news in a social media post on Tuesday, September 29, dubbing it “a sweet comeback.”<\/p>\n
“Lammes Candies is under new ownership, and our first order of business was simple: don\u2019t mess with 141 years of goodness.\u00a0Don\u2019t worry. The recipes, premium ingredients, and values that built this Texas legacy aren\u2019t changing,” new business owners wrote. “Whether it\u2019s at your team\u2019s tailgate, under the Christmas tree, or passed around at a family reunion, we\u2019re passionate about keeping those traditions alive and making a few new memories along the way.”<\/p>\n
