Watson's Chocolates
When I think of Watson's I think of their orange flavored sponge candy and their Elmwood Avenue Candy Bars. OR just about anything else on their menu that includes:
Chocolate covered popcorn, buttercrunch, cherry cordials, chocolate covered pretzels, peanut butter minuettes, truffles, turtlettes, fudge, chocolate Buffalo wings, chocolate elephants, gift baskets, corporate gifts...
About Watson's:
Back in 1946, two brothers, Louis and John Watson, and their respective wives, Ellen and Mary, began making chocolates in the back room of their soda fountain and luncheonette on Delaware Avenue in Kenmore, NY.
Using proven methods and recipes taken from their relatives, they quickly established a reputation for producing fine confections, albeit on a very limited scale. Whatever was produced was immediately sold in the front of their restaurant.
Demand for their chocolates continued through the years, until Lou and Ellen's son Jim, who had joined the family business in 1971, decided to take the chocolate company separate in 1987. New retail and production facilities were added, and with the arrival of Jim's daughter, Whitney into the company in 1993, the Watson's Chocolates product line was greatly expanded, and five more stores were opened, bringing the total number of retail locations to eight.
This Elmwood location is one of their most recent expansions.
