Wholesale Candy World — known to many as Y&M Wholesale — is more than just a candy distributor. We’re a family-owned business rooted in resilience, hard work, and the pursuit of the American Dream.
Our story begins with Younan and Maysoon, a husband-and-wife team who immigrated to the United States from Iraq to escape persecution and seek a better future. With nothing but determination and a $2,000 pickup truck, they began selling Michael Jackson pins, brushes, and memorabilia to family friends and small businesses throughout San Diego.
What started as a humble hustle quickly evolved into a thriving wholesale business. Today, Y&M Wholesale is one of the region’s most recognized and trusted bulk candy distributors, known for our wide product variety and unbeatable prices.
Now run by the next generation, Younan and Maysoon’s children are leading the company with fresh ideas, innovative solutions, and a continued dedication to excellence. We stay ahead of the trends while holding tight to the values that built our name — reliability, relationships, and community.
Since 1985, Y&M has proudly served retailers, convenience stores, vending operators, candy stores and more — always delivering high-quality products, a consistent supply chain, and competitive pricing. We partner with top national brands and offer one of the largest selections of candy and confections.
As a family-owned business with deep community roots, we’re committed to personalized service, long-standing trust, and a customer-first mindset. At Wholesale Candy World, it’s not just about candy — it’s about legacy, opportunity, and building something sweet, one customer at a time.
