Read on to learn more about the people whose innovation and passion for confection forged our legacy. CLICK ON A FOUNDER TO LEARN MORE THOMAS D. RICHARDSON CHARLES DRYDEN & NOAH PALMER Walter Bogdon THOMAS D. RICHARDSON Thomas D. Richardson had a vision for a new kind of American confection. He worked hard to perfect the recipe for his signature pillow soft sugar mints and began selling them at the counter of a Philadelphia department store in 1893. He was delighted when customers couldn’t get enough of his mints’ unique melt-in-your-mouth texture and smooth peppermint flavor. Richardsons soft sugar mints are still loved by sweet tooths of all ages. His passion for artisanal confection and love of innovation lives on as we here at Roses Brands continue to grow his legacy and craft delicious moments in his memory.
