MAY'S, THE CHOICE OF PRESIDENTS, GOVERNORS
& FIRST LADIES

William May started his candy busines in Atchinson, Kansas in 1881. He had a son, Harold May, and taught him the candy making trade.

​

By the 1930's, Harold and his family settled on Mackinac Island. There he learned to expand his candy business and support his family through the summer & winter seasons.

​

Harold's son, Marvin May and his family, continued to manage and operate the candy business on Mackinac Island. With five generation of candymakers, the tradition of "Famous Mackinac Fudge ®" still lives on.
