There's a new kid on the block. Actually, the same kids are on the block, with a new Candy store! One of Canada's oldest candy companies is ready to open up shop in Oakville, and they're celebrating their 126th birthday this August!
Kerr Candy, a manufacturer of numerous confectionery products in Toronto since the early 1900s, is in the process of moving its entire operation to Oakville at 2351 Winston Park Drive.
The establishment is noted for its many products, including:
- Caramels
- Soft Butterscotch
- Scotch Mints
- Striped Mints
- Toffee
- Fruit Drops
- More
Several Kerr's products are perfect for people with specific allergies offering peanut-free, tree nut-free, gluten-free, halal, and kosher options. There are no-sugar-added options for diabetics and folks on a sugar-reduced diet. With vegetarian and plant-based options making the line-up, one can't really go wrong with candy here.
"The move is underway, and our last day of production at 956 Islington was June 24th," said Whitney Martyniuk, Marketing, Digital & Retail Marketing Manager at Kerr Candy. "Since then, we have made significant progress in moving our machinery and production equipment to its new home in Oakville. We are very excited about our move since the new facility gives us more warehouse storage, room for growth, and extended shipping hours."
