Olivier’s Candies

Olivier’s Candies has been a Calgary institution since 1909, delighting generations with its handmade confections. Gaspard Olivier’s journey began with a bake shop in downtown Calgary, which he expanded to include candy and ice cream. His shop, known as The Geisha, became a place for social gatherings, offering a sweet escape on Saturday nights. After selling the original shop in 1913, Gaspard opened a candy factory and retail store in 1924, just two blocks from his original location. Over the next 50 years, he built a legacy that has endured well beyond his retirement in 1971. Today, Olivier’s Candies combines modern technology with the timeless flavours that made it famous. While the operation has evolved, Gaspard’s original caramel recipe, created in 1909, remains a key part of the brand.
