About AZ Candy Stand

AZ Candy Stand was built in Phoenix, Arizona, with the mission to bring bold dulces enchilados and spicy candy to snack lovers everywhere. Our roots run deep in the desert, and our passion for flavor comes from years of building local brands that have grown into household names. Backed by the success of AZ Lemonade Stand, we’re proud to carry forward the same entrepreneurial spirit, creativity, and Arizona pride into every bag of our chamoy-filled treats.

Behind the brand are three local innovators with a proven track record. Kyle Hollenbeck, co-owner of AZ Lemonade Stand and founder of Aioli Gourmet Burger, has launched multiple food and beverage brands into major retailers like Sam’s Club and Jacksons. He brings expertise in sales, brand building, and scaling local concepts into nationwide successes. Daniel Rich, a distribution expert from C-Store Outfitters, ensures that AZ Candy Stand is always retail-ready, shelf-stocked, and delivered smoothly across multiple states. His experience in supply chain and fulfillment makes sure our dulces enchilados arrive fresh and on time.

Finally, Tom D’Ambrosio, Food Network’s Chopped Champion and co-founder of Aioli Gourmet Burger, created AZ Candy Stand’s signature spice blend with a chef’s precision. His culinary background elevates our lineup of spicy gummies, sour belts, and chamoy candy into bold, crave-worthy flavors that stand apart from the rest. Together, this Arizona-born team is redefining what spicy candy can be—fun, flavorful, and built to share.
