grandma's story

A Truly Sweet Sisterhood

Grandma Ruby’s is a family-owned business with locations in Minnesota and Tennessee.   Sisters Kari Carpenter and Marni Glenn named the business after their Grandma Ruby, and work diligently today to make pound after pound of homemade fudge concoctions. The business is a tribute to Grandma Ruby’s magical ways in the kitchen and her unceasing ability to have a positive impact on everyone she met. And the distance between the sisters is nominal when compared to the lasting memories and culinary inspiration that fuels their dedication to Grandma Ruby’s Sweet Shoppe.

The Legacy of Grandma Ruby

In 1991 Kari and Marni’s beloved Grandma Ruby (whom they affectionately called “Mamo”) was diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gerhig’s disease), which eventually took her life. Kari and Marni share the following thoughts on this period in their lives:

Grandma Ruby’s passion for life and courageous example inspired her granddaughters to follow their dreams, and her legacy continues in other ways as well.

Cherish your memories. Enjoy the fudge.
