From the March 28, 2013, Fox Business by Gabrielle Karol.
And, I saw Walgreens had Halloween peeps and no doubt will have some out for Christmas now that those items are being stocked (well, since September). I wrote about their 60th anniversary back on Oct. 30th.
MEET THE COMPANY BEHIND PEEPS:
The company is Just Born (the founder' name was Sam Born) and sell one billion a year. Some 30% of them are bought for reasons other than eating. Peep fights? (Personally, I don't like them.)
1. IT'S FAMILY-OWNED AND OPERATED: They opened shop in 1923 in Brooklyn where they sold chocolate and fudge. It was built up by brothers-in-law Irv and Jack Shaffer and is now run by cousins and co-CEOs Ross Born and David Shaffer, the 3rd generation.
