L. Galpern Candy Company

The Galpern Candy Company was founded in 1907 by Louis Galpern and is best known for their Fine Candy brand and as a manufacturers’ agent for Milady Chocolates. The third oldest candy manufacturer in Winnipeg, their confectionery caught on and the family company grew into a large operation, moving from their Jarvis Street operation to 165 McDermot Avenue in 1943. The business ceased operations 30 years later in 1973.
