Ritter Sport Group

Ritter Sport Group is the corporate group associated with Ritter Sport, the German chocolate brand known for its distinctive square-shaped bars. The brand is based in Waldenbuch, near Stuttgart, and is closely tied to the Ritter family and the company Alfred Ritter GmbH & Co. KG. The supplied evidence does not contain information about Ritter Sport Group; it concerns the closure of the U.S. cupcake chain Sprinkles Cupcakes. As a result, this dossier is limited and should be reviewed and expanded with reliable sources about the Ritter Sport brand and its corporate structure.

The supplied evidence does not document the history of Ritter Sport Group. It instead reports on Sprinkles Cupcakes, a U.S. gourmet cupcake chain founded in Beverly Hills in 2005 by Candace Nelson and her husband, which was sold to private equity firm KarpReilly in 2012 and closed all locations in 2026. No reliable information about Ritter Sport Group's founding, ownership, or operations is present in the evidence. A proper history should be written from official Ritter Sport sources and reputable business references.
