The History of Gilliam and Hard Candy Sticks

Hard candy sticks have long been a favorite, beloved treat. They date back to the year of 1927, when Cleve Gilliam first opened The Candy Kitchen in Paducah, Kentucky.

Gilliam seamlessly paired his love of candy making with his artistic inclinations. It didn’t take long before The Candy Kitchen was overflowing with hard candy sticks, peanut brittle, candy bars, and, most famously, hard candy—which was as tasty as it was eye-catching.

Gilliam expanded The Candy Store as its popularity reached gumdrop-mountain heights (Candy Land, anyone?). In 1944, after 17 years of innovative candy making, Gilliam sold his business—but, like the long-lastingness of his hard candy, Gilliam’s legacy endured.

To this day, Gilliam old-fashioned hard candy sticks are artfully crafted by hand and sold to customers nationwide.

Gilliam hard candy sticks are not a one-size-fits-all treat. Instead, they’re available in a wide variety of flavors so everyone can enjoy them.
