Founded in 2001 by Dylan Lauren, Dylan’s Candy Bar transformed the candy industry by merging fashion, art and pop culture with confectionery delights. Dylan’s Candy Bar pioneered “retail-tainment” and luxury in the candy space, starting with creating the world’s largest candy emporium in New York City.
Dylan’s Candy Bar has expanded across the globe with flagships that have ice cream parlors and party rooms, and smaller-format shops in high-end department stores, hotels and major airports.
For over two decades, J.P. Morgan has been involved with Dylan’s Candy Bar every step of the journey. The relationship has grown alongside the brand, providing financial support and strategic advice needed to act on Lauren’s lifelong vision.
“I feel lucky to have had the support and guidance from my close-knit family, great friends and strong business collaborators like J.P. Morgan who understood my vision for the brand and helped turn my dreams into reality,” Lauren said.
Dylan’s Candy Bar revolutionized the industry by curating an unparalleled selection of candy, favors, baskets and lifestyle gifts for special occasions and holidays.
