About AZ Candy Stand

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

The team behind AZ Candy Stand consists of three local innovators with a history of success in the food and beverage market. Kyle Hollenbeck, co-owner of AZ Lemonade Stand and founder of Aioli Gourmet Burger, has introduced multiple brands to major retailers like Sam’s Club and Jacksons Food Stores. With years of experience in sales, brand-building, and scaling local concepts to nationwide success, Kyle is the driving force behind the growth and development of the brand. Daniel Rich, a distribution expert from C-Store Outfitters, applies his strong knowledge of logistics to the project, ensuring AZ Candy Stand products are retail-ready, stocked, and delivered efficiently across a multi-state market. His fulfillment and supply chain experience support our goal of dulces enchilados arriving fresh and on time to all locations. Our third partner, Food Network’s Chopped Champion and co-founder of Aioli Gourmet Burger Tom D’Ambrosio, crafted AZ Candy Stand’s signature spice blend with a chef’s touch. His culinary background elevates our line of spicy gummies, sour belts, and other chamoy-covered candies with bold, mouthwatering flavors that set our products apart. 

We are currently located at over 400 Circle K's and Cobblestones Auto Spas across Arizona. Use our store locator to find one near you. We also will be in Albertsons and Safeway starting 2026!

Together, this team is redefining what spicy candy can be—fun and flavorful with a style that is uniquely Arizona-inspired.
