Fannie May^® Fine Chocolates Since 1920 - Franchise

Since our beginnings near the turn of the century in Chicago, Fannie May® has always been proud to offer the finest chocolate products – made in our own factories – to discerning customers from all walks of life.

That hasn't changed since Day One. We still offer our traditional Pixies®, Trinidads®, Mint Meltaways, and other candy favorites. But, at the same time, we're looking to the future. We're excited to be teaming up with our Parent Company, 1-800-Flowers, the leader in the e-commerce floral industry. As we set our sights on opening more and more stores across the country, we are relying on business professionals like you: people who understand our commitment to excellence, who know a delicious opportunity when they see one, and who will commit to carrying the Fannie May® name forward with pride.

Now you have the opportunity to open and operate Fannie May® stores in your community. Join the Fannie May® franchise family today!
