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 anniversariesyou name it, we'll be there! Thank you for your continued support of our family, and our business.

Signed, Caelen A. Haney
