National candy company opens headquarters in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Scottsdale, AZ (PRWEB) April 21, 2005 -- My Mom’s Toffee Factory & Sweets Shoppe®, makers of tasty and delectable treats, has opened its corporate headquarters in Scottsdale, Arizona, President and CEO Kim Brownlee announced today. Complete with a 350 sq. ft. manufacturing kitchen the new office is located in the Scottsdale Airpark. The corporation’s primary manufacturing and distribution center is an 80,000 sq. ft. facility located in Chicago.
“Scottsdale is the perfect home for My Mom’s Toffee Factory & Sweets Shoppe,” said Brownlee. “Working with America West has taught me to combine service standards with business intelligence, which has gone a long way in the development of the company.”
Brownlee, an Iowa native, moved to the Valley 12 years ago to work for America West Airlines as a flight attendant. The “high flier” created the idea for My Mom’s Toffee Factory™ while serving first-class passengers on America West flights. Brownlee credits much of her success to the years of service and on the job training with AWA.
Appropriately named for a family recipe passed down for generations from mother to daughter, Brownlee raised the recipe to manufacturer standards, and then began research to create and develop a national candy brand. Brownlee created the business strictly from an idea and pieced it together over four years through self-education, research and a powerful team of experts around her.
A Toffee unlike any other, My Mom’s Toffee Factory’s secret is a unique family recipe that uses the perfect blend of ingredients and a special mixing technique that few have mastered. Its enticing flavor is very rich, yet light. The Toffee is initially crunchy and immediately melts away; a distinct difference from traditional Toffees that tend to be hard or chewy.
“I wanted to create a high-end reputable company known for the wonderful flavor of Toffee and Toffee-related products,” said Brownlee. “Since I have a passion for both Toffee and business, creating this company seemed like the logical choice.”
Since the company’s inception, Brownlee has sold over a quarter million dollars worth of stock in her company, and has been recognized for her business and corporate development most recently on the Food Channel with Al Roker Productions. My Mom’s Toffee is currently sold at AJ’s Fine Foods and baseball fans can find the toffee at concession stands in Bank One Ballpark. Other carriers of the product include, The Westin Kierland Resort, Wingate Hotel in Scottsdale, NETJETS Corp. Jet Service of Columbus, Ohio and growing upscale retailers around the United States.
