One of Gränna's oldest peppermint rock candy factories
Discover the craftsmanship behind one of Sweden’s most beloved sweets – the peppermint rock candy! At Franssons Polkagriskokeri in Gränna, there is a wide range of sweets, and here you can shop, taste, and bake polkagrisar.
Franssons Polkagriskokeri has been one of Gränna’s many polkagris factories since 1967, when Alf Fransson opened the doors to this charming family business. Here, polkagrisar are baked using classic methods, and the shop is filled with cones, lollipops, and jars of handmade sweets.
Alf, known as the “Polkagris King,” set records and shaped the place’s history with his impressive creations, including the world’s longest and heaviest peppermint rock candy. Today, the factory is run by Alf’s son Peter and his daughter Linn, who together keep the craftsmanship and family tradition alive.
