Our Story

Gummi Boutique

Your one-stop shop for all things candy, sodas, and ice cream!

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!

As of 2019, the store has been taken under the wing of Gary and Cael, a father-son duo extraordinaire. Operated as a family business, Gummi Boutique flourished over the course of the following years. We've greatly expanded our product repertoire, bringing in candies from all around the world and even opening up an ice cream bar. Becoming an active player in the greater Calgary community, supporting local charities as well as the Alberta Children's hospital, has been our greatest pleasure! And, while 2020 was no easy year for anybody, we've enjoyed the continued support of our local community. Without you, we would not be here today!

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!
