We are sad to announce that we will be closing our doors at the end of the month. We want to express our deepest gratitude for your amazing support and loyalty to Baum’s since 1981. Without your support we wouldn’t have made it this far!

After much consideration, we have decided to retire and step away from the Balloons and Party side of our business. As for our Chocolates, we are still deciding on the next steps and will keep you updated!

Thank you again for being a part of our journey
