Story Behind Bloomer
We are a 129 year old family business that manufactures, packages, wholesales and distributes high quality confectionery products and dependable value-added services to enable our customers, employees and company to grow.


For over a century, Bloomer customers have enjoyed the superior taste of our milk chocolates which are blended in precise detail from family recipes. Our milk chocolate selection can be used as chocolate gifts, chocolate gift baskets, chocolate boxes just to name a few! You can also purchase wholesale chocolate from us!

It was a marriage made in heaven. My grandmother was known for her delicious homemade milk chocolates. And, my grandfather believed other people would enjoy them as much as he did.

Grandpa had a sweet tooth!

In 1879, he started the Bloomer Candy Company using grandma's original recipes. Almost overnight, demand exceeded expectations. To keep up, milk chocolate making was moved from grandma's kitchen to a storefront in downtown Zanesville. Around 1900 the company built its own milk chocolate factory on 3rd Street. All our milk chocolates are still made there today using grandma's original recipes.

Bloomer Candy is a unique company by today's standards. Many of our employees are either 3rd, 4th or 5th generation Bloomer chocolate and candy makers. The tradition for excellence my grandfather started over 129 years ago is still alive today.

Once you taste a Bloomer milk chocolate, you'll agree.
