Located at 3500 Genesee Street in Buffalo, you will find homemade Caramel, Sponge Candy, and the best chocolate to ever kiss your taste buds. Niagara by Frey was established in 1956 by the Terranova family, starting out with ice cream in the summer and chocolate in the winter. They soon after evolved into more than just a candy bar company and into a driving factor behind some of the largest charities in Western New York.
Some of these charities include The Buffalo Bills, UB Athletics, WNY Heroes, JP Morgan Corporate Challenge, the Buffalo Zoo, and just about every candy bar charity drive in Western New York. They have acquired a major presence in the local community and their dedicated staff, international mindset, our passion for enriching their customers’ lives drives their quest to create innovative, tasty and trendy products for every occasion.
Niagara by Frey continues to produce high quality chocolates in Buffalo, New York, the birthplace of SweetWorks, their parent company. While in Toronto, they manufacture colorful and delicious candy and gum – entirely gluten- and nut-free!
