“The Helen Grace acquisition adds another legendary brand to BBX Sweet Holdings portfolio. It also expands our presence in California, solidifying BBX Sweet Holdings as a coast-to-coast chocolate and candy company,” a spokesperson for BBX told just-food today (23 July).

This is BBX’s fourth acquisition since the end of last year. The latest acquisition of peanut-butter-based candy maker Jer’s Chocolates at the beginning of this month followed the purchases of Williams & Bennett in January and Hoffman’s Chocolates in December last year.

“We continue to look for good acquisitions – our criteria includes legendary brands, exceptional products, and great management. All three of those are important,” added the spokesperson.
