Schimpff’s Confectionery, Jeffersonville, Indiana

The Schimpff family emigrated from Germany and started candy shops, 1850s on Preston Street, Louisville. This is likely near Broadway, just north was the wealthy section of town. !872, Charles Schimpff started a candy business at Spring and Chestnut, across the river in Jeffersonville Indiana. In 1891, the business moved to 347 Spring Street, its present location. They also have a deli and serve sandwiches, ice cream, and so on. My parents, Charles Suddeth and Mary Katherine Pait went on their first date here so posting this a week before Valentine’s seems right.
