“Old-fashioned Quality.” It’s a phrase often heard. At Lowery’s Homemade Candies, it’s a reality, and we promise to keep it that way. Lowery’s Candies started making sweet treats in 1941 and has been a family run business for over 78 years.

With these new connections made, students off campus often throw parties the first week of school to kick off the beginning of the year.
