Founded by Rosie O'Neill and Josh Resnick, Sugarfina has transformed the confectionery market by reimagining candy as a luxury experience. What started as a passion project has evolved into a company protected by over 50 patents, trademarks, and copyrights, creating a new category at the intersection of food, lifestyle, and luxury. 

Sugarfina’s holiday collections have been featured in Forbes, Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Cosmopolitan, and Esquire. With a strong wholesale presence in over 900 stores and exciting partnerships with brands like Casamigos, Tito’s, and Truly Seltzer, they’re proving they’re more than just a candy company.

Just recently, Sugarfina has made two strategic acquisitions that expand its market presence. In October 2024, the company acquired BOXFOX, a premium gifting platform, which extends Sugarfina's reach in the luxury gifting market, combining artisanal candies with innovative gift solutions.

This was followed by the purchase of Candy Club in early 2025. Founded in 2015 as a direct-to-consumer brand, Candy Club brings a nostalgic twist to gourmet sweets and an established wholesale business reaching national retailers.

As the global candy market is expected to surpass $345B by 2032, Sugarfina is setting the stage for continued growth.
