“To think that we've been able to persist here for 130 years, it's just mind boggling,” said co-owner Warren Schimpff.
Opened April 11, 1891 by Warren’s great Grandfather, the store has seen quite a few changes since. It’s expanded to several times its original size, added more retail space, employees, and a museum – but several things have not changed – still hand making their candy on the original table from 130 years ago.I hope another 100, or more or whatever. You just don't know and have no control over that,” said Schimpff.
Another thing the company couldn’t control – two global pandemics that impacted their business – the current one and the one from 1918.
“I never heard the family mention that they had trouble during the 1918 pandemic, maybe they did I don't know that," Schimpff said. "That's lost through history."
