Case Study

Taffy Town, Inc. began its journey as the Glade Candy Company, founded by James Glade in Utah. Originally, the company offered a wide range of confections, from salt water taffy and hard candies to chocolates, establishing itself as a full-line candy manufacturer.


In the 1990s, David Glade, James' grandson, decided to take the company in a new direction. He rebranded the company as "Taffy Town, Inc." and committed to focusing exclusively on perfecting taffy. This decision marked a pivotal moment in the company’s history, leading to the development of a unique process that has become the hallmark of Taffy Town.


Today, Taffy Town continues to uphold its legacy of candy-making excellence, with a dedication to creating the finest taffy, all rooted in the rich heritage of the Glade family.
