Creating a company with decadent confections that has been around for 140 years is no easy task. It took many years, setbacks, tears, laughter, and amazing memories. A main part of those memories is our wonderful candy team that works behind the counter at our stores on Airport Road in Austin and at Round Rock. Our team members are like family to us, so we wanted to give an opportunity for our customers to “Meet the Team” with Lammes candy team stories that keeps us running strong everyday. We asked our 4 incredible staff members a few questions to get to know them better as well as their favorite Lammes Candy.
