The King’s Hawaiian legacy began in the 1950’s when Robert Taira traveled across the Pacific to the tropical islands of Hawaii. He first settled in Hilo, where he graduated at the top of his baking school and opened his first bakery—Robert’s Bakery. This location was the birthplace of his famous Original Recipe King’s Hawaiian Sweet Bread.Nearly a decade later, the well-known bakery expanded and moved to King’s Street in Honolulu. The bakery and cafe immediately turned into a destination location for locals and tourist who shipped the bread back to the mainland as gifts. In the late seventies, Robert was inspired to share some aloha with the mainlanders and constructed a commercial bakery in California. It wasn’t long before the sweet taste of King’s Hawaiian was found on the dinner table of families around the United States.

"Truly fine chocolates have several characteristics in common: they are always fresh, contain high quality ingredients like premium cocoa beans and dairy butter, are usually less sweet and feature unusual textures and natural flavors. Consequently, their taste differs greatly from less expensive chocolates, which tend to use artificial flavors and preservatives to achieve a longer shelf-life." Godiva's chocolate products are available worldwide at its 450 boutique stores, in department and specialty stores, through mail order, and from its Web site. Godiva Chocolatier, Inc. began operations in North America in 1966 as an importer and distributor of Godiva chocolates from Belgium. Godiva is owned by Turkish confectioner Ülker Bisküvi Sanayi, which acquired it from Campbell Soup in 2008.

We didn’t set out to become the nation’s leading natural frozen food brand. All we wanted to do was create a business that would allow us to earn a living by providing convenient and tasty natural vegetarian meals for people like ourselves, who appreciated good food, but were often too busy to cook "from scratch." We started on a "shoestring," using our own house and barn as headquarters. The founding meetings were held in the same room where we were married and where our daughter Amy was born.This was in 1987, before the idea of "organic" food had become well known, and when there were very few frozen meals available for vegetarians to eat, either in health food stores or supermarkets. We were, however, very fortunate in being in the right place at the right time. The number of vegetarians had increased dramatically, as had consumer awareness of the harmful effects on their health and the environment of chemicals in the food supply.
