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. 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.[1]
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.
