CandyFavorites.com : Candy, Bulk

When my grandfather, Ernest Prince, opened a small wholesale candy company in 1927 in industrial McKeesport, PA, on the outskirts of Pittsburgh, he couldn't have known that it would eventually become one of the oldest confectionary wholesale companies in the country as well as one of the first, and largest, online candy stores.

Have you ever wanted to own a candy store, especially one that offers over 2800 different varieties of candy? By becoming an affiliate of McKeesport Candy Co., you can create you own candy website or link to ours.

One of the highlights of the year is our annual visit to the All Candy Expo held at McCormick Place in Chicago, Illinois.

Jon Prince's pager went off one recent Saturday evening, as he was eating dinner. The call was from a frantic fundraising customer wanting to know if the Reese's Peanut Butter Cups packs contained three or four cups.

On the front of McKeesport's building in large letters is the word "candy," as if to emphasize the company's decision to specialize in this product category. Of the 2,000 SKU's McKeesport carries, at least 85 percent are confectionery. The remainder is mostly tobacco products. Candy accounts for 65 percent of company sales.
