As members of the “Baby Boom” generation, our early memories summon up times at the local neighborhood grocery that really had “penny candy”. The kids were welcome to take as long as they wanted to decide just how they would spend the nickel clutched in their hand.
We watched in awe as the bottles flew by on the bottling line at the Coke or Pepsi bottling companies. We could walk in the back door of the local bakeshop or potato chip maker and not only be allowed in but welcomed to watch the folks at work.
This is how we envision our own confectionery business. We welcome small group tours. We have a large window between the showroom and the kitchen where folks can watch as we hand dip each piece of chocolate or mold a sucker or chocolate bar. We endeavor in every way possible to make our business part of our community and to be friends with everyone. |
