In the early 1900's Fredrick Brummer came to the United States from the Saxton region of Germany. In 1904 he, along with his wife Catherine, established Brummer's Confectionery in Jersey City, New Jersey. Making ice cream & candy in this location was a booming business because of all the trolleys & carriages heading into Manhattan. They all passed by the store.
As they passed the store on their way into the city it became a part of the day to stop off at Brummer's. Later a luncheonette was added to service all the traffic.
Fredrick & his wife had two children, Fred Jr. and Charles Brummer. This turned out to be the second generation. Fred had four children, two of whom have continued on the third generation..
Bob & George now continue the tradition in Westfield, New Jersey and Vermilion, Ohio. Keeping the same family recipes, they use the finest quality ingredients in all their chocolates & candies.
No longer having a luncheonette or ice cream parlor has allowed the two to concentrate solely on their chocolates & candies.
