Family-Owned, Bay Area Brand Jelly Belly Sold to Chicago Candy Company Ferrara - Eater SF
"Jelly Belly, the Fairfield-based jelly bean company that has hosted many local elementary school children for candy-making factory tours, has sold, the Mercury News reports. The company has long been a family-owned operation since its founding in 1896, but now the Rowland family has accepted an offer from Ferrara Candy Company, which produces candies such as Nerds, Gobstoppers, and Sweetarts, among others." - Dianne de Guzman
