Originally called Glade Candy Company, founded in 1916, the company was a full line candy manufacturer of hard candies, chocolates, taffy and jellies. In 1994, the 3rd generation company president, David Glade, found the family business excelling exclusively in the manufacture of their famous whipped style taffy. This was the candy that the firm originally started with and carried fame being from the city of the Great Salt Lake. Looking for a unique brand name to identify it’s candy, he decided to change the name of the company to Taffy Town, Inc., recognizing that Salt Lake City is a town famous for it's taffy.
