Redstone and Wild West Products ALL Domestic

We have all been reading and watching a lot about bad or dangerous products from Asia.

We are proud to say that all of the Wild West Items and Redstone Foods items are made in the USA. In some cases packaging is made in China, but the food itself is domestic.

The only exception to this is our Lollipops. Our lollipops are made in a Chinese factory that exports all of its products to the US and Europe. They make literally thousands of shipping containers a year, all bound for the west. The factory is as clean as any you would find in the West and the ingredients are also required to meet the highest Western standards.

If you have any questions about this, feel free to contact us at cs@redstonefoods.com.

Wild West Taffy in the Dallas Morning News

See the article here.

Email us if you want us to email you the text of the article.

Have a great week and grab some taffy - its perfect for anytime!

Bulk Candy Display Tip

We discovered a tip to displaying bulk candy we couldn't wait to share with you.

Alternate lighter and darker colors. A rainbow colored display (with each color just slightly different than the next) leaves the darker colors together and they fade away and are harder to distinguish. This discourages sales. By alternating light and dark colors, the colors "pop" more, and sales of both the lighter and darker colors increase.

Please give it a shot and let us know how it works for you.

Don't thank us...we're givers.

Sales of our Redstone Chocolate bars continue to do well. So well that we launched a new bar - La Azteca. This is a throwback to how chocolate was originally made by the Aztecs. It is a 72% dark Belgian chocolate bar with crushed cocoa nibs, a little chili, and cinnamon. Stan, our President, dreams up all of the Redstone Chocolate Bar formulations. This is truely his best.

Hello there. I was recently in Dallas on business and stumbled across your Red Chili with CURRY Dark Chocolate Bar. AMAZING! May be the best candy bar I have had in years. I was glad I brought three of them back to Chicago with me but sadly they disappeared quite quickly. I've now been searching gourmet candy sections at World Market, Wholefoods etc and have yet to find your brand which is far superior then many of the others I have tried. Do you have distribuition in the Chicago area - or is there an online source for purchase? Thank you and I hope to hear from you.

Candy Sales Remain Strong

With the economy hitting a rough patch, many people are asking about the candy business. The candy business is still strong has has done well in economic downturns. One of the founders of Redstone, Helen Rothstein, often commented that she sold candy bars during the Great Depression. She quipped, "People couldn't afford their mortgage, but they could still spare a nickel for a Hershey bar." Don't worry folks, the year will turn out fine. Gas will go up, but who is going to cut back on an occasional affordable luxury. We aren't asking our customers to spend $10,000 on a luxury vacation, just $10-$20 for some candy.

Not surprisingly, the NCA (confectioner's association) agrees...

• Candy remains an affordable luxury
  Candy sales hit $29.1 billion in 2007 and are expected to increase up to 3% this year, said Susan Fussell, spokeswoman for NCA. "Historically during either recessions or economic downturns, people continue to buy candy in part because it's an affordable luxury," she said.
