I remember the first time I had the Gardners Peanut Butter Meltaway 45 years ago. My neighbor gave me one. I was about 10 years old. It was amazing. If you get the chance to stop into the store, it is a beautiful place.

What a fun place!! Great old time atmosphere for shopping and enjoying ice cream. Little museum is small but wonderful.
Gardners Candies was founded in 1897 by a sixteen-year-old boy named James "Pike" Gardner in Tyrone, Pennsylvania. The young entrepreneur operated out of a small store in downtown Tyrone. Pike later added a horse-drawn wagon so that he could transport and sell candy, popcorn and peanuts at local fairs and carnivals.
Gardners Candies grew over the years by expanding its product line to satisfy customer needs. Our stellar reputation is built upon quality products at affordable prices and a commitment to customer satisfaction.
Today, Gardners Candies has 10 retail stores in Pennsylvania. Gardners Candies Stores are beautifully decorated with taste-tempting candies that some have described as "simply out of this world."
