Archibald Candy Corporation
 PROFILE
Archibald Candy has encouraged the sweet tooth since 1920, when founder H. Teller Archibald opened a candy shop in Chicago. The company's boxed candies (Fannie May, Fanny Farmer, Sweet Factory, and Laura Secord) are sold through about 700 company-operated stores and more than 9,000 other retailers in some 40 states and Canada. The company also sells through catalogs, its Web sites, and fundraising programs. Archibald Candy makes about 75% of its more than 350 products, which include chocolates, mints, and toffee; it resells some nuts, sweets, and other novelties purchased from outside vendors. TCW Capital owns about 50% of Fannie May Holdings, Archibald Candy's parent company.
