Our Story

Gummi Boutique

At Gummi Boutique, our mission is to provide the best selection of candy, sodas, and ice cream to our community. Gummi strives to make everyone feel like part of the family from the moment they enter our store, and to foster that feeling even after the door closes.

First established in 2011, Gummi Boutique quickly became Calgary's premier candy destination. With an incredible selection of candies, novelty sodas, and other imported products, our mission has always been to bring you the best of the best!

In December 2019 Gummi Boutique came under new ownership. Operated as a family business, Gummi Boutique flourished over the course of the following years. Our Chief Candy Officer, Caelen has worked hard to greatly expand our product repertoire, bringing in candies from all around the world and even opening up an ice cream bar.

Additionally, with a family history of event planning, we have used our extensive experience to branch out into local events, be it weddings, birthday parties, corporate events, and more.

We have also been an active player in the greater Calgary community, supporting local charities as well as making regular contributions to the Alberta Children's Hospital. And, while beginning our journey right on the cusp of 2020 was no easy task, we've enjoyed the continued support of our local community. Without you, we would not be here today!

2025 has brought with it more challenges, but with a renewed focus on our local community Gummi Boutique is actively searching for locally made sweets and treats to share. If you are interested in showcasing your products in Gummi Boutique, more information can be found on our Vendor page.

Going forward, it's our wish to keep supporting you through the years, whether it be at birthdays, weddings, or anniversaries—you name it, we'll be there! Thank you for your continued support of our family, and our business.

Meet the Family

Cael
(Owner/CEO)

Cael is your go to person here at Gummi Boutique! With extensive knowledge in business management and customer relations, it is his hard work that has allowed Gummi Boutique to grow beyond our imagination. He enjoys archaeology and painting, and most of his free time is spent indulging in art or watching yet another documentary on bronze age civilizations. Cael is often the first person you see walking into Gummi Boutique, and the last person you'll forget!

His favourite candy: Nerds Gummy Clusters.

Blake
(COO/Event Planner)

Blake is a University of Alberta alumni with a penchant for quirky writing and fun marketing campaigns! They enjoy magic realism, playing video games, and spending time with their birds. On most days, you can find them either behind or under the counter, where they're likely answering any emails, comments, or concerns. Additionally, Blake handles all of our event planning and customer relations. If you've got questions, Blake has answers for you!

Their favourite candy: Floral Gums.

Additionally, you can find our two part time staff (and creators of chaos), Renee and Austin, helping us keep operations running smoothly and assisting our customers in finding the perfect sweet treats. We're thrilled that each of them have been a part of our family for over four years! All four of our talented staff contribute to the wonderful art you see throughout our store, from our window displays, to the label art on our bulk bins and of course, the crowd pleaser "Mystery Bags".
