Summary: In business since 1940, this regional manufacturer of highest-quality specialty candies affords a terrific opportunity for a new owner to significantly increase revenues and profitability through continuation of the current sales and marketing expansion programs recently initiated. This business is poised for major growth and is being sold only because the owner’s other business demands fuller attention. Having just gone through major product development, the updated product line has numerous exciting new products ready to capture additional sales and expand the company’s presence in its current markets. Sales are handled by a senior sales person in consort with both local and national distributors. Owner desires that the buyer retain the present dedicated employees in the current location if possible. The business employs 3 full-time production staff and additional temporary workers as production requirements dictate.

Facility: Manufacturing operations were recently relocated to a new 3,300 sq. ft. facility with substantial investment made in additional production equipment, efficiency and capacity.
