About Us

 

If you've ever stepped inside a corner candy store, you know it's one of the coolest, most magical places on the planet.

When cousins Greg Balestrieri (left) and Joe Melville (right) launched Candy.com in July 2009, their goal was to bring this corner candy store experience online.

Greg and Joe, who grew up in a third-generation, family-owned candy company, also wanted a shopping arena where smaller candy manufacturers would get the same exposure as larger manufacturers and hard-to-find candies were abundant.

With their industry experience and relationships, the cousins virtual vision came to reality quickly. Candy.com is now the worlds online corner candy store, and its growing exponentially, thanks to thousands of satisfied candy lovers, retailers, and event planners around the globe who are spreading the word about where to find the broadest and best candy selection by color, brand, type, and occasion.
