 Pearson Candy Company was founded in 1909 by P. Edward Pearson with the assistance of his two brothers John Albert and Oscar F. Pearson. A few years later, two more brothers Waldemar and C. Fritz joined the Minneapolis-based company, which began as a candy distribution firm, doing a little bit of manufacturing on the side. The Nut Goodie Bar, one of the company's first manufactured products, made its debut in 1912 as a premium 5-cent candy bar, and was met with much success. Pearson's Salted Nut Roll was introduced in 1933 at the height of the depression.
 In August 2011, Pearson's was acquired by Brynwood Partners VI, L.P. located in Greenwich, CT. As we celebrate our first 100 years, we not only reflect on our rich history, but lay the foundation for a strong future. We are honored to continue a tradition started by the Pearson brothers and take pride in the fact that our candies have brought enjoyment to so many generations! Pearson's candy will be sampling at Anderson Race Management events this year season. We thank Pearson's for their tenth year of support to our active runners.
