Donckers was established by a man needing to provide for his family after suffering an accident in 1896. It started out as a simple outdoor stand selling, fruit, candies, popcorn, and tobacco. In 1914, Fred Donckers built a solid cornerstone for his business and is still home to today’s Donckers’ fine candies and family restaurant. Fred’s humble shop grew along with the wonderful community of Marquette and was passed down from generation to generation in the Doncker family, keeping the spirit and sweets of Grandpa Fred alive. Today Donckers still follows the tried and true recipes of a loving father’s passion for confections.
