In 1980, my mother opened Nandy’s Candy with a dream of owning her own business and sharing her passion for sweets with our community. Now, over four decades later, we’re proudly continuing her tradition of serving a delicious selection of handcrafted chocolates and truffles to our amazing clients. To us, we believe that sweets are part of the best memories and everyday special moments for all kinds of people. So we strive to create treats that will make those moments unforgettable. From delicious truffles and chocolate cover strawberries to candy apples and our vast selection of jelly beans, we’re sure to have something for everyone that stops by our shop! So, come by or visit us online and let our family share our passion with you.
Established in 1980.
“Not just a candy store; a part of best memories and everyday special moments.” Made in small batches in copper pots, in the kitchen of the cheerful store at Maywood Mart, Nandy’s Candy does more than satisfy a sweet tooth’s craving. It creates fond traditions and strong relationships.And that’s exactly what founder Nancy King set out to do as she opened the bright red doors of Jackson’s first premium handmade candy store in 1980. The rest, as they say, is history. Today, Nandy’s Candy is not just a candy store. It’s a must-visit place for kids in town staying with grandma. It’s a first stop for those who’ve moved away and missed their American truffles or fudge. It’s a bag of Jelly Belly’s in every possible flavor, a Snoball in July, chocolate-dipped strawberries from the one you love.Emmie K.
Business Owner
My passion for candy sparked as a child in Hutchinson, Kansas. There was a little candy store next to the movie theater called the Caramel Corn Shop. They sold penny candy. I would save up my dimes or 15 cents, and after a movie I’d get a bag of candy. Never in my wildest dreams would I have ever thought I’d be in the business some day!In 1980, my dreams of owning my own business came true. I opened my own store in Jackson, MS, October 1980.
For 35 years, I’ve made quality handmade candies, chocolates, and confections. Starting from scratch in our small copper pot. Always fresh and no preservatives or artificial flavorings. Presentation, consistency, and courteous customer service guide us daily.
My daughter, Emmie King now runs the day to day operations. She continues the tradition of making high quality handmade confections and running a small family business that brings JOY to all.
Everyone should experience “being a kid in our candy store” now matter their age.
