Virtually unchanged since 1938, the Parrot at 42 North Main has pleased generations of Helenans and visitors with their famous handmade candies and fountain treats.

The Parrot Confectionery has its beginning as the Helena Drug Co. Fountain and Confectionery Department in the early 1910's. The current location is the fourth address for the business, opening on October 15, 1938...
