PROFILE |
 |
It has Licorice, Champagne Punch, and Jalapeno -- who could ask for anything more? Herman Goelitz Candy Co., better known as the maker of Jelly Belly, "the original gourmet jelly bean," makes over 50 jelly bean flavors. Introduced in 1976 and exported to about 40 countries, Jelly Belly candies account for more than 80% of sales. The company, which jointly produces candy along with the Goelitz Confectionery Co. of Chicago, plans to be renamed the Jelly Belly Candy Co. Other products include candy canes (including cherry and cotton candy flavors), candy corn, chocolate candies, gummies, licorice, and nuts. Herman Goelitz is owned and run by descendants of Gustav and Albert Goelitz, who founded the company in 1869.
