About Us

For more than 97 years, we have abided by the three core principles of our founder:

To provide customers with the HIGHEST QUALITY CANDY at REASONABLE PRICES with EXCEPTIONAL CUSTOMER SUPPORT.

We believe "the future of candy is rooted in the past" and for close to 100 years remain committed to being leaders in the wholesale candy industry, preserving the products and values that have guided us since the company was founded by Ernest Prince in 1927.

An Old-Fashioned Shopping Experience

 Knowing that the Internet can be impersonal, our goal is to provide a secure online shopping experience while offering the personal attention customers associate with old-fashioned "brick-and-mortar" candy shops, where you could ask for something unique and expect a smile from across the counter or, in today's modern age, a representative averting their gaze from a mobile phone.

 As a result, our distribution partner was amongst the FIRST Wholesale Candy Companies and CandyFavorites.com is widely recognized as the FIRST online candy store! 

As of 2024, we are one, if not the, last privately owned online candy stores still operated by the original owners.

Our website offers more than just online shopping; we invite visitors to explore our Blog and Educational sections to discover and learn about cherished products that hold a special place across America.

Our 2024 revamped website - our 5th redesign since we launched in the late 90's - proudly presents an extensive collection of over 3,000 candy varieties from esteemed brands such as EDA's Sugar-Free, Ferrara Pan, Jelly Belly, Just Born, and more. While these brands have been a part of our family for years, we are always excited to expand our candy selection further.

For nearly a century, McKeesport Candy Company has been in the same location, offering a vast array of sweets shipped from their temperature-controlled warehouse, ensuring quality and freshness with every order.
