Austin-based Lammes Candies closed its Round Rock storefront April 24, with the flagship store on Airport Boulevard in Austin to follow soon, according to the business.
About the business
Family-owned candy manufacturer and seller Lammes has operated in the Austin area since it opened in 1885, according to the company. The candy company is known for a specialty praline made with Texas pecans as well as chocolates, taffies, brittles and other treats.
What they're saying
The closure comes as the company works to wind-down its operations, and the Austin store will remain open for "a bit longer."
"The decision comes after careful consideration of changing market conditions and the long-term sustainability of our operations," a notice posted for customer view states. "It was not made lightly. Lammes Candies has always been more than a business, it has been a family legacy, and a part of so many lives and celebrations."
