The Sweetest Story In Town
Sweet traditions, fresh flavor, and Brighton heart since 2009.
How It All Began
About Oh My Lolli!
Back in 2009, Oh My Lolli! came to life in downtown Brighton with one goal in mind, to make candy that everyone can enjoy.
Founder Keith Karp wanted to create sweets that didn’t just taste amazing but felt safe for every family to share. He studied old European candy-making traditions, picked up modern techniques from Australia, and added a little Michigan creativity to make something totally his own.
From the very beginning, this kitchen has been completely allergen free. Every lollipop and piece of candy is nut free, soy free, dairy free, and gluten free. It matters because we’ve seen what it means when a kid who’s never been able to have candy finally can. That’s the real magic behind every swirl.

421 Mill Pond Lane
Brighton, MI 48116
Steps from the Imagination Station (A 10,000 Square Foot playground!) at the Mill Pond. Oh My Lolli! has been a Brighton favorite for years. When the candy starts spinning and the colors begin to swirl, it always draws a crowd.
We make everything right here in our shop using pure cane sugar, natural oils and flavorings from a Michigan maker, and absolutely no high-fructose corn syrup. It’s candy the way it should be… simple, clean, and full of joy.
We love sharing what we do. Our field trips, group demonstrations, custom events and birthday visits take you behind the scenes to see molten sugar transform into bright, shiny candy. It’s sweet, hands-on fun for all ages.
