Overview
- Lammaes Candies said it has begun an orderly wind-down of its retail business and will shutter its remaining stores, with the Airport Boulevard flagship still open for now as shoppers clear out inventory.
- The Round Rock shop has closed, and the company will keep selling online only while stock lasts, with no final date set for the flagship’s last day.
- Leaders cited changing market conditions, higher prices for raw ingredients and labor, and thin confectionery margins as the reasons for the decision.
- Company notices say Lammes will fulfill existing orders and help employees through the termination process during the closure.
- The Austin icon spans five generations and is best known for its Texas Chewy Pecan Pralines introduced in 1892, a legacy that drew crowds seeking a last taste this week.
