Originally founded by Michael Speach (Michele Spicciati) an immigrant from Italy, The Speach Family Candy Shoppe has been passed down through the generations to Michael's great-grandson who also happens to be named Michael. With the help of family and friends, The Speach Family Candy Shoppe has grown and developed new products and gorgeous packaging the customers have come to expect and appreciate.

The business now operates as The Speach Family Candy Shoppe, Inc., paying homage to the members of the family that have passed and stands as a monument of how a struggling man from Italy came to America and made something wonderful.
