Date EstablishedLocation1883New York City
Description
Huyler's was a candy and restaurant chain in the New York City from 1874 to 1964, and for a time was the largest and most prominent chocolate maker in the United States. It was founded by John S. Huyler who had grown up working in his father's bakery and ice cream store. Huyler's candies were manufactured in small batches, which cost more to produce, but allowed the company to monitor the quality of the products more carefully. Milton S. Hershey arrived in New York in the spring of 1883 and worked employed at Huyler's until 1885 when he returned to Lancaster, Pennsylvania to establish his own company. At the time of his death on October 1, 1910, Huyler had 54 stores across America, supplied by 14 candy factories.

Cruising through many states of America, remnants of eateries of the past can still be found. Travel back to a stage in time with me to rekindle the memories of food franchises and the lost cuisine of bygone days. We can remember the presence of these dining experiences in their heyday long ago, but still etched in moments and recollections.
