Quality Candy Company, parent company of King Leo, has acquired Gilliam Candy Brands’ Paducah, Kentucky based hard candy business. The purchase agreement applies to certain assets of Gilliam’s hard candy business, including the Gilliam Paduke stick product brand name and specialized equipment that the company uses to make old-fashioned stick candies in a variety of flavors.
Gilliam’s stick candies, including Old-Fashioned Stick Candy, Old Paduke, Lil Paduke, Baby Paduke and Paduke Jr. mint sticks will be incorporated into Quality Candy’s stick candy business that includes nationwide distribution through all classes of trade. And according to both companies, the lineup of brokers handling the Paduke business will not change.
The deal “will bolster [Quality Candy’s] position as one of the industry’s largest hard candy manufacturers,” said Pierre “Pete” Redmond, Julian, California based Quality Candy’s founder and chairman
My favorite line: The deal “will bolster [Quality Candy’s] position as one of the industry’s largest hard candy manufacturers,”…
No doubt dude, you just bought “Old Paduke”.
New Carpet….
Oh man, I got the home improvement bug…
Started pulling up all the carpet downstairs, and this is the lovely linoleum that lies beneath it. Roni, of course, loves it, and decided that we will keep it just like this, because of the beautiful pink flowers.
