We acquired our first eCommerce business, Natural Candy Store (www.NaturalCandyStore.com) from its founders in California, and moved the business to our home in Traverse City, MI. Since then we have been focusing on operating the business as originally envisioned by the founders, and making improvements, including launching a re-designed website, deploying new email marketing tools, expanding the product line, and pursuing new market segments. The business is based on selling great tasting candy and baking products made from 100% natural ingredients. At this time, with over 1200 products, we are the largest site on the Internet that only sells candy made with no artificial colors or dyes, no artificial sweeteners, no artificial flavors and no preservatives. Our motto is "All the fun without the funny stuff!".
