Anna Dolle Bushnell

Dolles Candyland

​

Anna Dolle Bushnell is a Maryland entrepreneur and author, best known as the owner and operator of the historic Dolle’s Candyland in Ocean City. A fourth-generation confectioner, she was raised in the family business—a staple of the Ocean City boardwalk since 1910—and currently operates its candy factory and four shops alongside her brother, Andrew Dolle.

Beyond her work in the candy industry, Anna is a dedicated community leader. She served on the Board of Directors for the Ocean City Development Corporation (OCDC) from 2016 to 2025, where she was instrumental in supporting local business growth and downtown revitalization projects. Anna has also served on the Foundation Board of Peninsula Regional and Salisbury University. She is also the author of the book Dolle's Candyland, Inc., published by Arcadia Publishing as part of their "Images of America" series, which documents her family's century-long history on the Maryland and Delaware shores.

An Eastern Shore native, Anna lives in Berlin with her husband with their two children.

Join Anna while she speaks about her family's history in the Maryland and Delaware Resorts. She will be sharing pictures, heirloom items as well as stories of the intertwining of Dolle's to the local culture we enjoy today.
