The Candy Manor Story

First Generation

The Chatham Candy Manor was founded in 1955 by Naomi Louise Turner. She was an entrepreneur, far ahead of her time, charming, independent, beautiful and totally eccentric. She and her daughter, Naomi would arrive in Chatham around the first of July in her yellow push-button drive Desoto station wagon filled to the brim with candy making supplies, card tables, sheets and a couple of old battered suitcases. They would set up the card tables, cover them with the sheets, make a batch of fudge, dip some chocolates and be open for business by the 4th of July!

They used to sleep in the back room of the store or in the back of the station wagon, like true entrepreneurs, in hopes of making enough money by August to rent a house for the month. Naomi made all the candy according to old family recipes and thrived on the joyful contact with her customers. She filled the store with an air of fun and excitement - "putting on a show," she called it. After Labor Day, they'd pack up and move on.

Second Generation

After Naomi’s passing, the Chatham Candy Manor was left in the very capable hands of Naomi “Dutchie” Turner, and her husband David Veach. They took the Chatham Candy Manor from what was a seasonal summer business into a year round business that only closed for one day of the year (Christmas). The transition of seasonal to year round business was quite challenging given the seasonal fluctuations. Naomi found herself dipping chocolate at all hours of the night while Dave had to package them up and ship them out the next day.

With Naomi and Dave’s hard work, the Chatham Candy Manor has grown up, evolved into a unique and highly respected business celebrated for unprecedented quality, extraordinary customer service, artistry in chocolate and social responsibility in the community.

Third Generation

Paige Piper and Robbie Carroll are carrying the torch into the Candy Manor’s third generation. We are honored and excited for the opportunity to continue making the delicious chocolates and fudge that you have enjoyed for decades. The Chatham Candy Manor has been a staple in the community since its establishment in 1955, and we're thrilled to continue this legacy in the years to come.

Robbie

I was born and raised in Chatham, and spent my summer breaks working at the Candy Manor. My mother, Susan Carroll, has worked at the Candy Manor since before I was born. After graduation from Bentley University, I worked in finance, both in banking and at a technology company. Paige and I decided that our future was in for something a little bit sweeter! I am very excited to be back in my hometown and continue to be a driving force in the Chatham community. I am also excited to bring Candy Manor chocolates to those who have never had the opportunity to try them!

Paige

I grew up in a small town in Maine, forty-five minutes north of Portland. After graduating from Bentley University, I worked on the Development Team for nonprofits, and spent the prior four years at Custom Ink focused on their fundraising and business development initiatives. I'm excited to be back in a small town, and part of a close-knit community again. Though I haven't always had much of a sweet tooth, I've learned very quickly what I've been missing out on. Next time you're in the store, I'll point out some of my new favorites.

What Makes Candy Manor Confections So Special?

Tradition

The Chatham Candy Manor has spent 65 years perfecting the traditions of the old-school chocolatier.

Time

We take the time to slow-cook our candies in small batches, so that you can be sure our chocolates are always at the peak of freshness.

Taste

We select only the finest quality ingredients - fresh, pure, the real thing - and we taste everything we make to be sure it's the best.
