Lammes Candies Closes After 141 Years Due to Economic Pressures
Lammes Candies, a historic Texas-based candy store, is closing after 141 years of operation. The decision to close was attributed to 'unprecedented economic pressures and current market conditions.' The company, which has been a family-run business for five generations, will close six of its seven locations in Texas, with the flagship store in Austin and its online store remaining open while supplies last. The closure marks the end of a long-standing tradition, with the company known for its 'Texas Chewie Pecan Praline' and commitment to using Texas-grown pecans. The current owners, siblings Pam, Bryan, and Lana Lamme, expressed gratitude to their employees, customers, and community for their support over the years. The company is in the process of winding down operations, fulfilling remaining orders, and supporting employees through the transition.
