CandyWarehouse.com filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on Oct. 24, 2025, citing rising costs and shifting consumer preferences.

CandyWarehouse.com, a Texas-based online candy retailer founded in 1998, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on October 24, 2025, just days before Halloween. The company cited declining sales, rising costs—including a 178% spike in cocoa prices due to crop failures—and shifting consumer demand toward healthier, low-sugar options. It reported assets of $100,000 to $1 million and liabilities between $1 million and $10 million. Despite plans to continue operating under court supervision, the timing threatens its recovery, highlighting broader struggles in the retail and confectionery sectors.
