Asher founded his candy making business after coming to Philadelphia, from Canada, just two years earlier. The company began in center city Philadelphia, moving to its former location in historical Germantown. Later, the Executive Offices and Shipping were in Montgomeryville, Pennsylvania, with the renovated manufacturing facilities in Germantown and Lewistown, Pennsylvania. Asher’s expertise was
passed on to the second generation–four sons–who ran the business until 1966. Asher is still family owned and under the direction of the third and fourth consecutive Asher generations. Asher’s success story lies in having built a reputation for making quality candy with the freshest and purest ingredients available. Close supervision and direction at the factory, every day, assures that the quality is maintained. Asher’s offers a wide selection of chocolates and other confections from Pecan Pralines to our award-winning Chocolate Covered Pretzels, and creamy Fudge. We also have one of the largest lines of Sugar Free, Low Sodium Chocolates in the industry. The tradition of producing fine quality chocolates continues. Asher’s Chocolates is located in their corporate headquarters in Souderton, Pennsylvania. This 125,000 square foot building now houses the Factory, the Executive Offices and Shipping. The specialty lines still remain in Lewistown. The official chocolate of everyday life™
