Anderson's also car

ries a line of gourmet truffles with flavors like White Peach and Coffee Caramel and Buttered Rum. Established in 1919. Anderson's candy shop was founded by Arthur Anderson in 1919. He opened a small shop on Armitage Avenue in Chicago with a used copper kettle and less than a hundred dollars to his name. In the early years, a make-good gift from larger local chocolate and flavoring companies would help him expand his business. If he made good, he would pay them back. And he did! Driven by rising rent Arthur and his family left the city in 1926 and bought a house on what is today Route 12 in Richmond. Arthur and his wife Gertrude ran their business out of the front porch and living room. Arthur Anderson's motto was, "no fancy packaging just the best candy you can buy." And that is what a fourth-generation of Anderson's holds to today. Prioritizing making THE BEST chocolate candies any where. Arthur passed his passion for chocolate down to his son, Raynold Anderson, and later Raynold and his wife Violet passed the work to their son's Leif and Lars. For more than three decades Leif Anderson and his wife Tracy worked together to continue the tradition. Today, Tracy, along with a fourth-generation of Anderson children and also staff, work daily to make your chocolate candies, fudges, truffles and holiday molds by hand. We are eternally grateful to the generations of Andersons and staff who have come before us, an for the generations of customers who have made our candies part of their traditions and lives! We 'can't wait to serve you!
