Lee's Candies has a rich history rooted in family tradition and a commitment to quality that spans several decades. Founded in 1947 by Lee Nokleby with support from his father LG Nokleby, the candy shop has been a beloved local establishment in Boise, Idaho for 77 years. Originally located on Jefferson Street, the business eventually moved to its current spot in Vista Village, where they continue to handmake chocolates using the same recipes from their founding year.
The quality of Lee's Candies is a testament to LG Nokleby's dedication and expertise. He traveled across the country, honing his skills in some of the finest confectionaries, which contributed to the development of their superior candy recipes.
In 1986, Lee Nokleby passed the torch to his son Curtis, who upheld the family motto of "Never change your Quality." Under Curtis's leadership, Lee's Candies maintained its loyal clientele and continued to be a cherished part of the local community. As Curtis approached retirement, he entrusted the business to Katie and Ken Fernandez, a father-daughter duo committed to preserving Lee's Candies' legacy and continuing to serve the families of Boise with their time-honored treats.
With the recent expansion to downtown Boise, Lee's Candies is poised to reach even more customers while remaining true to its origins and commitment to quality. The Fernandez family's dedication ensures that Lee's Candies remains a cornerstone of Boise's confectionary tradition, offering delicious chocolates that have delighted generations of local residents.
