    About Fuzziwig's Candy Factory

    The first Fuzziwigs Candy Factory store opened in 1995. The earliest stores were in Malls and Outlet Centers and focused on bulk candy, packaged candy and small toys.  Later, stores started to sprout up in downtown "Main Street” type locations and began to incorporate Store Made products and Ice Cream.  Today you will find Fuzziwig’s in Malls, on Main Streets and now in select Scheels All Sports locations.

     
    Thanks to an exploding candy market, Fuzziwig's Candy Factory and Sweets From Heaven are growing in leaps and bounds and we're looking for motivated, enthusiastic people to join our family of independent candy franchises.
