One Hundred
Twenty Five Years
Ago On April 11, 1891,
Gustav Schimpff Sr. and his son, Gustav Jr. opened the doors to G.A. Schimpff’s Manufacturing Confectionery at 347 Spring Street in Jeffersonville, Indiana.
The Evening News marked the occasion by saying simply, "Gus Schimpff of Louisville this morning opened his new candy factory." Gus Sr. & Catherine, Gus Jr. & Louisa, Wig & Vivian, Catherine, and Sonny would be proud!
Again, we thank our employees, customers, and family members for helping us complete another year. For more than a century Schimpff’s has enjoyed providing Kentuckiana candy lovers a tradition of quality. The red hots that Gus originally sold in 1891 for 6 1/2 cents per pound have become household words for many.
OUR 125TH BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION
We invite you to come into Schimpff’s Confectionery on our birthday, Monday, April 11th when a 1/4 lb of our Red Hots will be offered at the 1891 Price of 2¢ with a $2.50 minimum purchase. Stop by at 11:00 AM for a special unveiling of a Schimpff’s sign, like one that once hung on Spring Street,
Warren and Jill Schimpff
