Mr. Altshuler learned the art of candy making, and after struggling for years, finally achieved success with his Rocky Road® candy bar. He named his business the “Annabelle Candy Company” after his daughter, and began manufacturing Rocky Road in San Francisco. The item quickly gained popularity throughout the western United States where it has its strongest hold today, and is currently ranked among the top 35-40 best selling chocolate bars on the West Coast. Annabelle Candy Company moved across the San Francisco bay to its present location in Hayward, California. Sam Altshuler passed away in 1971, leaving control of the Company to his daughter, Annabelle Altshuler Block. In 1972, the Company purchased Golden Nugget Candy Company, of San Francisco, the makers of Big Hunk® and Look® candy bars, and began manufacturing those products. In 1978, Annabelle engineered the acquisition of the Cardinet Candy Co., which manufactured U-NO® and Abba Zaba® candy bars. All of these items, in addition to Rocky Road, are now being made in the Hayward factory.

A business started in 1933 - the depths of the depression - by one man, Frank Donio. His idea was simple: purchase South Jersey's finest fruits and vegetables from local farms, choose only the best produce, and sell it to area stores and markets - at a fair price. He operated alone and shipped to the Philadelphia Market and the Newark Farmers Market.Over the years, Donio Produce had grown from a small warehouse in Hammonton, New Jersey to a leading national wholesaler of "Jersey Fresh" fruits/vegetables and herbs. From modest beginnings, the company now has expanded to occupy a 75,000 square foot building at which 17 trailers can be loaded simultaneously. In addition, other trailers are loaded every day at various other shipping points, including farmers auction blocks and farms.
