About Us

Merb's Candies proudly traces its origins back to 1921, nestled in the heart of St. Louis, Missouri. Established by a visionary female entrepreneur, our doors have remained open at the same iconic location for over a century, involved in countless sweet memories shared by our patrons.

The current family took over in the early '70s, nurturing and expanding upon the legacy of this cherished local brand. We don't merely see ourselves as candy-makers; we are stewards of a rich tradition that stretches back through generations.

Our passion is fueled by the countless customers, both local and national, whom we've had the privilege to serve over the years. From elders who have relished our sweets for seven decades to teenagers just beginning to forge memories with our products, we cherish the opportunity to be part of their stories.

Merb's Candies is more than just a business; it's a legacy. We are proudly female-owned and family-operated. Each recipe, many remaining untouched since 1921, is a testament to our dedication to preserving our unique heritage.

At Merb's Candies, we uphold a century-long legacy, delivering cherished chocolate delights. Our mission is more than candy-making; it's about offering exceptional treats that mirror our heritage, passion, and dedication to excellence.

We set ourselves apart with our commitment to handcrafted excellence. Every chocolate is made with meticulous care in our establishment. Our belief in smaller batches ensures the best quality and an unmatched love infused in each bite. When you choose Merb's, you're not just buying a treat; you're embracing a century-old tradition of confectionary artistry.
