This week we kicked off our annual World's Finest Chocolate candy sale. These chocolates are easy to sell and a favorite here in Tallahassee. We even have drivers stop by the offices to buy them when they see it's that time! The sale lasts until the 20th so be sure to get your candy today!
The candy will sell for $2.00 a box. The wrapper on each box is good for one FREE Chick-Fil-A sandwich with the purchase of a Chick-Fil-A sandwich. That's a great deal!!
