Candi Werx closing Concession Street store

She did not wish to go into details.

“The community up here is fantastic,” Gauthier said. “I have customers that have followed me for every year and every location since I’ve been in business for the last 18 years.”

While the shop is closing, Gauthier noted the business will continue as an online entity via CandiWerx.com in 2024.

Gauthier said she will continue making chocolates at a commercial kitchen in the city, and provide local delivery and a pickup location.

“We’re going to continue doing a lot of events and festivals and shows like we’ve always done throughout the years and we might even be going more of them,” Gauthier said.

Candi Werx has been on Concession Street on Hamilton Mountain since 2017 and in its current location near Hamilton Avenue since 2021.

The chocolatier said she will miss seeing her regular customers and Concession Street.

“A lot of the community that I’ve grown to know and love and be part of their lives,” Gauthier said.

Eva Martens, chair of the Concession Street Business Improvement Area (BIA), said she is saddened to hear Candi Werx is closing.

“Customers came to them for celebratory gift baskets or just some sweet indulgence and Candi Werx helped provide many tasty and delightful memories for the people on the Mountain,” Martens said. “Jules was also involved on our (BIA board of directors) for many years and her contributions to the community and the experience that is the diversity of Concession Street, and her presence will be missed.”
