The Bloomer Candy Company got its start in 1879 when it first opened its doors on Main Street in Zanesville, Ohio under the name of E.P. Bloomer & Co.  Sixteen years later, in 1896, Bloomer moved operations to Third Street and introduced our delicious "Star Chocolates"

In 1901, the now Bloomer Candy Company constructed a new building at 39 North Third Street.  This was the first building in Zanesville to have DC lighting.  Nine years later refrigeration lines were installed for the purpose of cooling.....the chocolates, not the employees.

Today The Bloomer Candy Company still operates chocolates production from the original building on Third Street in downtown Zanesville, Ohio.   However, continued growth over the decades has seen us expand into a new facility encompassing a combined total of 150,000 square feet

Our product line has also expanded to over 6600 items, including all major confectionery brands, Star Chocolates, Starline Sweets and selected lines of   private label product for both Star Chocolates and packaged goods.
