Object Description
Photo of Lukis Candy Company; Casper, Wyoming. The photograph is taken of the shop's corner. It is an older looking, light colored brick building with large glass windows on both sides of the storefront. There is a lamp post on the corner of the sidewalk as well. On the right side of the shop is an overhead sign that reads, "Lukis Candy Company". There is also a brass plaque of some sort on the corner of the store that reads words such as, "Candies, Ice Cream... Lunches".
Origin
Constantinos "Gus" Lukis reported how his father owned candy stores all over the U.S. and in Mexico City. All that changed with the onset of the Great Depression, a crisis that coincided with Lukis’s birth in Chicago in 1929. After his father lost the candy store he had been running in Chicago, Lukis, who was six months old at the time, moved back to a small town in Greece with his mother and two brothers.
