Shane Confectionery has been a part of the Philadelphia community since 1863. And that is exactly how we treat each other - like a community. We listen to each other's ideas, help each other out during our busiest holiday seasons, and most importantly make each other laugh. We are always searching for new ways to improve our products and how our customers experience the store. All of these things make working at Shane Confectionery SWEET!
Eric Berley
Owner
Eric’s larger than life mustache is indicative of his flare for fun, but one that’s tempered by a philosophical (sometimes zaney), but mostly pragmatic, approach. Eric daydreams of being a part-time farm hand, starting a lifestyle blog called “Nuance,” and creating a characters-from-history bowtie business inspired by his two small children, but his true calling will always be as a Confectionery Imagineer TM who aims to open a Confectionery Museum.
Lindsay Graham
Executive Coordinator
Lindsay has been at the company longer than any other employee! She started as a Soda Jerk, became one of the first managers of Shane after reopening in 2011, and worked her way up to Executive Coordinator; today Lindsay handles all of our finances.
Lindsay likes exploring new cities, the Phillies, and attempting to grow herbs and veggies in her South Philly "back yard".
