Harbor Wholesale to expand into seasonal, specialty candy category.
Harbor Wholesale, a West Coast family-owned, independent distributor, has acquired the Seattle, WA Halfon Candy Company, owned by second-generation owners Alan and Marie Scharhon.
Harbor Wholesale recognized a significant opportunity to support its convenience and grocery customers with the expansion into the seasonal and specialty candy category. Rick Jensen, president of Harbor Wholesale said, "With the acquisition of Halfon Candy Company, we increase our overall market share and expand Harbor Wholesale in areas that would have taken us years to independently develop. This newly acquired expertise in seasonal and specialty candy, brings Harbor customers more variety as well as access to unique items to help them grow overall sales and give us a stronger presence in traditional grocery."
