Buddy Squirrel Tradition Continue for Over 100 Years...
HISTORY:
buddy squirrel, a family tradition since 1916, is celebrating over 100 years of providing fine chocolates, gourmet nuts, and confectionary snacks.
the company began in st. francis, wisconsin when joseph and lottie helminiak began manufacturing quality candy for neighborhood customers using high quality, consistently fresh ingredients. for 50 years the business expanded retail store operations until in 1965 when additional manufacturing capacity was added to support its expanding product line and distribution system. although its retail operation has been reduced, buddy squirrel currently operates from a state-of-the-art 70,000 sq ft manufacturing facility providing retail and wholesale customers with a complete line of naturally delicious snacks for the contemporary appetite.
