About Us

Hoover's Candy and Eatery is a Bedford, Indiana tradition of hand-crafted, homemade candy, fountain drinks, and food for over 100 years. Owner Pat Bennett has been able to incorporate the love of her family, and the love for Bedford into her candies and specialities at Hoover's Candy and Eatery. Pat enjoys the nostalgic memories she has of Hoover's from her childhood. Especially notable is Hoover's outstanding reputation for serving great food and drinks in a quiet, cozy atmosphere. That same setting exists today at Hoover's.

Tales abound...each day, customers relate their own reasons for enjoying a cup of soup and a sandwich while watching Pat or her daughter, Amber, create a soda fountain delight. Or perhaps they are winding down their day with a slice of homemade pie and a specialty coffee drink. Whatever the choice, the simple homemade food is always served with a smile. The delicious scent of chocolate and homemade candies enhances the dining and shopping experience, making Hoover's and increasingly popular eatery for diners and candy lovers from all over southern Indiana.

Pat has enlisted the support and expertise of her parents, children, grandchildren, good friends and efficient personnel to provide her customers with a trip down memory lane coupled with a current dining experience.
