Billy Boy Candies has been a family business for over 60 years. With that today we announce that we will be retiring this year.

We will stay open through Easter to serve our community for one last holiday. The Retail and wholesale store will close just after Easter in April.

We are extremely thankful for all our customers and being part of the New Bedford community as well as all of Southern New England.

Sweet Jackie who founded the retail store in late ’70s after taking over for her father set off on a vision to grow the business and has done it with great success. Her husband John took over the wholesale for his father in law and continued showing the community what personal touch meant to wholesale distribution. From there the entire family has contributed to the success of this business and everyone will truly miss being a part of this great family.

Once again we thank everyone and look forward to seeing all one last time for the Easter season.

Thank you,
signed
-Billy Boy Candies Family.”
