Making Candy Fun Since 1948: The R.M. Palmer Story of Seasonal Sweetness

From a $25,000 investment and some used equipment in a rented Pennsylvania warehouse, Richard M. Palmer Sr. launched what would become one of America's most beloved seasonal chocolate makers in 1948. After a pivotal $20,000 order from W.T. Grant Department Store for chocolate bunnies, Palmer relocated his operation to Reading in 1951, positioning himself in the heart of the worldwide Easter candy business. In 1970, R.M. Palmer revolutionized holiday treats by introducing the first flavor-filled chocolates, such as peanut butter, caramel, mint, and fudge, into seasonal novelties. Today, celebrating over 75 years of making candy fun, R.M. Palmer employs 850 team members who craft more than 500 one-of-a-kind products from their headquarters in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania, making it one of America's largest seasonal confectioners still run by the Palmer family.
