Jovy Candy is Proudly Immigrant-Founded
Our story starts with a backpack full of dreams, the struggle of assimilation and an unwavering work ethic. We are more than just a candy company — we are the product of the hard work of our founder who migrated from Mexico to pursue his dreams. A visionary that built everything from scratch with honest effort, and intentional choices to spread joy and a taste of México to those who were missing their country.
From spicy chamoy gummies to our iconic fruit rolls, every product we make is a reflection of our roots: Mexican flavors, immigrant grit, and a passion to sweeten life for everyone. We’ve grown because of the values we inherited — hard work, integrity, and a deep respect for opportunity.
But in moments like these, staying silent isn't an option.
Standing with the Immigrant Community
Recent actions and policies by this administration have unfairly targeted immigrants — people who, like our founders, came to this country to build a better life and contribute something meaningful. Whether it’s through family, labor, culture, or innovation, immigrant communities are a vital part of the heart and soul of this country.
As an immigrant-founded brand, we know the strength it takes to start from scratch. We know what it means to overcome barriers, to turn obstacles into momentum. That’s why we feel compelled to say:
We stand with immigrants. Always.
We stand with the families affected by fear-based policies. We stand with workers who continue to power our industries. We stand with dreamers, doers, and creators who make the U.S. more vibrant — and definitely more flavorful.
Our Values Are Non-Negotiable
The Jovy journey was never just about candy. It’s about building something real. And part of being real is standing up when it matters — especially for those who are being pushed aside.
We believe:
-
Immigrants deserve respect, protection, and opportunity.
-
No community should be silenced, marginalized, or excluded.
-
Our products reflect a culture and a heritage we’re proud of — and we’ll never stop celebrating that.
