PowerBar also markets a sport drinks called Endurance and a carbohydrate gel that comes in chocolate, vanilla, double latte, and various fruit flavors.

Providing a product people needed at a fair price and with excellent service was a recipe for success. As the business of ice making progressed from an industry based on animal power and harvesting ice from rivers in winter, to a technology-based industry with the capacity for year-round production, Reddy Ice was there.Ice is hot stuff, especially when you own the ice factory -- Reddy Ice does, and its proprietary technology lets grocery and convenience stores make and package their own ice automatically. Reddy Ice is the largest US maker and distributor of packaged ice products. It has the capacity to make about 18,000 tons of ice per day.

Silver Lake Cookie Company is recognized throughout the baking industry as the “Quality Leader” since 1965. A family business whose reputation is based on the fundamental concept of delivering the finest quality product possible, and providing the highest level of service to the customer.Silver Lake got its start in Baldwin, Long Island, in a 3,500 square foot building behind a park called Silver Lake Park. As you guessed, that is where the name Silver Lake came from. In the early 70’s more space was needed and the company relocated to larger quarters in North Baldwin. A retail store was established at this location called “Mr. Cookie.” It wasn’t long before continued growth made another move necessary. In 1978 a 35,000 square foot building on Sunrise Highway in Amityville became the next location. Over the next few years another 4,000 square feet were added to the building. For more space two buildings around the corner were rented. But by 1986 the company again outgrew its facilities.
