Buffett's Candies


Buffett's Candies is a candy business located in Albuquerque, New Mexico. It was established in 1956.

History

George D. Buffett, a former state representative and cousin of Warren Buffett, opened Buffett's Candies in 1956. He ran the store every day until he died in 2012; in his lifetime, his youngest daughter, Patty, ran the store with him for about 20 years, finally divesting in 2018. Donna Buffett, co-owner, has run the enterprise since along with her son, Tyler. In 2024, Buffett's opened a second location, a 20,000 sq. ft. facility with a "20-foot immersive walk-in with floor-to-ceiling glass" so visitors could experience the factory atmosphere.
