Pearsons Candy Company has been producing quality confections since 1909, and prides itself on quality, tradition and customer satisfaction. The company was founded in 1909 by P. Edward Pearson with the assistance of his two brothers John Albert and Oscar F. Pearson. A few years later, two more brothers Waldemar and C. Fritz joined the Minneapolis-based company, which began as a candy distribution firm, doing a little bit of manufacturing on the side. The Nut Goodie Bar, one of the companys first manufactured products, made its debut in 1912. Pearsons Salted Nut Roll was introduced in 1933. In 1985, two Pearson employees purchased Pearsons Candy Company. Their sole intention was to give the brand the attention it deserved, and return the Nut Goodie and other Pearson products to the quality that had made them famous.
