Cummings Candy & Coffee still evolving after a century in business
Generally, six of 10 credit card purchases at Cummings Candy & Coffee are made by return customers.
Having operated on Butler’s Main Street since 1905 when it was founded as Cummings Confectioners by William Cummings, the business has had plenty of time to build up loyal local customers that, just like it’s family-run history, span generations.
William’s nephew, Barry Cummings, now runs the business, having inherited it from his father, Tom Cummings, in the mid-1990s. He said the candy- and coffee-loving regulars have kept the business going for more than 100 years, but it is still exciting to see new customers and out-of-towners discover what has become a Butler staple.
