For whatever reason, numerous journalists in the candy industry—and beyond—have contacted us about CandyWarehouse.com filing for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy.
Our first thought was, "Why are they contacting us?" and our second was, "It is certainly not our position to comment on something that is not our business, and we don't take joy in another company's misfortune even if they are in the same industry."
What we can say is that we do share something in common: both of us were among the "original" online candy stores, long before shopping online was part of daily life.
Whether you are small, medium, or large, running a business, especially in a highly competitive environment like the internet, is not easy.
Each of us works equally hard and remains at the mercy of change in an ever-changing world.
As it stands, CandyFavorites.com is the OLDEST privately owned online candy store and is backed by McKeesport Candy Co., the OLDEST wholesale candy company in the nation.
We have been blessed with a loyal customer base and, in the words of our founder, Ernest Prince, we will continue to strive to provide "the highest quality candy at reasonable prices with exceptional customer support," as we have for close to 100 years.
