Bobs Candies
Bobs Candies are a brand of candy manufactured by the Ferrara Candy Company.
History
Bob's Candies was founded in Albany, Georgia by Bob McCormack in 1919.[1] It is the largest manufacturer of striped candy in the world.
McCormack was the first manufacturer to wrap his candy in cellophane. A family member is credited with inventing a machine for twisting and cutting stick candy in 1952. A year later, he invented a machine to bend it into a cane. The Keller machine revolutionized the business and created a new industry - the commercial manufacture of candy canes.[2]
In 2005, Bob's was bought from the McCormack family by Farley & Sathers, which then merged with Ferrara Pan in 2012 to become known as Ferrara Candy Company.
