What could be better than chocolate and artisan fudge made in Haddam and found at local craft fairs and markets? Oh Fudge! and More is opening a storefront!
Oh Fudge! and More will be opening its doors to the public at the building they recently purchased located at 1588 Saybrook Road in the Tylerville section of Haddam, and will move their manufacturing to this location.
Back in 2020, we did a Business Spotlight on Oh Fudge! and More, and interviewed Bridget Marshall.
As was stated in that Business Spotlight, in February 2018 Bridget started the “Oh Fudge and More” business, selling handcrafted artisan fudge and chocolate specialties “as something for myself” after a few years as a stay-at-home mom, and though “everyone loves my fudge and chocolates,” she didn’t imagine “the growth we would have so quickly.” She started signing up for craft fairs, as well as the Pop-up Holiday Market in 2018. Soon she was booked many weekends at fairs and festivals around the state. And they started a website for online orders.
Then along came COVID, which damaged many businesses, with shutdowns and supply chain issues. But for Oh Fudge! and More, Bridget explained, “Our online presence boomed during COVID when people couldn’t see each other at holidays and [instead] they sent chocolates!”
“We were looking for a larger production space, and this building allowed us to incorporate retail,” said Bridget. “Everything just kind of fell into place. I wasn’t intending to expand into ice cream when purchasing a space, but this just felt right. It was just the perfect location for an ice cream shop.”
They will open on June 18, 2022 12:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., with a grand opening to be announced shortly. They will be open daily 12:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
Stop in and support an expanded Haddam business.
