Lammes Candies on Airport Boulevard in Austin is reported to be closing after 141 years, with most of its locations shuttering and only the flagship Airport Blvd store remaining for a limited time to sell through inventory. The closures are attributed to unprecedented economic pressures and changing market conditions.
Key points and current status:
- The majority of Lammes Candies’ locations are closing; the flagship Airport Blvd store is slated to remain open briefly to allow last-minute purchases, then close permanently once inventory runs out.
- Online sales and the flagship store will continue until inventory is exhausted, per company statements.
- This news has been covered by multiple outlets and industry sites, confirming the timeline and rationale behind the decision.
If you’re in Miami and were hoping to visit or order from Lammes Candies, you can still place online orders while the flagship store remains open, but be aware that many brick-and-mortar locations have already shut down. For the most up-to-date specifics, checking the Lammes Candies official site and recent local coverage from Austin outlets is recommended.[1][3][5]
