a family tradition since 2021
Gulf Coast Fudge Co was established in the early 1900's in N. Ft. Myers, Florida @ The Shell Factory originally under the name of "Jim Garrahy's Fudge Factory". Since the inception and prior to the recent passing of the torch, Gulf Coast Fudge Company has only changed hands 1 time to an incredible family lead by a wonderful lady named "ROSIE". "Rosie's Gourmet Fudge' as it would be known since 2001 only to make the transition to "Gulf Coast Fudge Company" in 2015 as it stands today. As Rosie's son Joey and daughter-in law Micaela jumped both feet in, they built the team and added locations in Downtown Ft. Myers and Cape Coral which has stamped "Gulf Coast Fudge Company" as the go-to for home made fudge, confectionary items, salt water taffy & jelly beans, and unique candy items in SW Florida. Our old-fashioned home made fudge is handcrafted in small batches using a recipe dating back to the 1800's from a well known island in N. Michigan identified as Mackinac Island. Made the old fashioned way, our secret recipe's are cooked in an old fashioned copper kettle and then poured onto our marble slabs, cooled and shaped into a loaf which is then sliced for your enjoyment!
On November 1st, 2021 the torch was passed and the future of Gulf Coast Fudge Co is now being cultivated by new owners, Jeff & Kristen, and their 5 sons. They have added their brand of Royal Scoop home made ice cream to the menu and look to increase locations and market share throughout SW Florida. Their incredible customer service drive partnered with the value of home made fresh confectionary items are guaranteed to satisfy for years to come.
"The goal is for our guests to have an experience like no other. We want you thinking about your next flavor & your next item before you leave the store."
Stay tuned for more developments...............................
As Kristen & Jeff stated: "It is definitely an honor to carry on the time-honored tradition and we thank Joey, Micaela, Rosie, & Jim for the gift of old fashioned home made fudge!"
