Fortune [magazine] smiles on See’s Candies

In The secrets of See’s Candies, Fortune Magazine raves about See’s Candies, our West Coast institution that’s probably been many SFBA natives’ introduction to locally sourced, no-preservative chocolates. While their focus is on the financial side (Warren Buffet owns it! They are rolling out stores nationwide! It’s got fanatically loyal fans, employees & management!), it’s also got lots of interesting info about See’s history, its manufacturing processes, and fun facts.

With all the artisan chocolate happening here of late, we don’t get to a See’s shop very often anymore for our free sample from the lovely ladies in their cute retro uniforms, but the article reminded me of why I always like See’s: They make good candy that makes for a can’t-fail gift, an enjoyable shopping experience, and a little treat for myself all in one visit.

We wish them all the best in bringing the See’s experience to our East Coast friends.
