As such, we are interviewing other small businesses so that we can help cross-promote them among our followers and offer support in this uncertain time. Today we are featuring John Buoniconti, the owner of Colorado Candy Company. ![]() How long have you been in business? This is our fifth year in business. What inspired you to get into the candy-making business and how and why did you start The Colorado Candy Company? When I first moved to Fort Collins back in 1996, I applied to an ad in the newspaper that simply said. Do you like candy. Seasonal positions available. So I went to the address in the add and six years into working there I found myself trying to buy the business. The purchase didn’t work out and so I went and moved on. No matter what job I had, anytime someone asked me what my dream job was, the answer was easy, making candy. Then, in 2015 my wife and I bought and sold a business and decided to use the proceeds of the sale to start Colorado Candy Company. We came up with all original formulas for our products and started making candy batches in our home kitchen. I still remember making our first ribbon candy sitting on a kids stool in front of the oven to keep the candy warm. Once I knew the formulas were solid and we acquired some vintage candy making equipment, I knew I was going to need some help to get this business going. So I brought on two business partners, both long time friends of over 20 years. I actually met Brian at the original candy shop and he currently has 17 years of candy making experience. My second business partner Jade not only heads our packaging department but he is also a homegrown artist, born and raised in Fort Collins, Co. He actually made our two marble tables out of slabs from Marble, CO. He also has a piece of carved marble in the Benson Sculpture Park in Loveland, CO. How has the recent COVID-pandemic impacted your business? Are other social, economic, environmental impacts that affect your business? Like many other companies, our business model has been turned upside down. We were mainly a wholesaler and this time of year most Of our business revolved around tourism and events like weddings and fairs. None of which are happening any longer. Now 80% of our business is from our online store but joining the online space at the same time as some many other businesses has proven very challenging. How do you currently market your business? We market CCC online thru both social media and Google and with small print articles. We also use digital billboard marketing as well as product sponsorships. Where can we - your consumers - find your products? Do you have an online shop, onsite store, or do you partner with other businesses to carry your products? We have both an online store as well as many brick and mortar retail customers alongside the front range and in surrounding states. You can find both on our website www.coloradocandycompany.com. Is there anything else you would like our followers and potential customers to know about The Colorado Candy Company or yourself? For the Love of Candy is not just our tag line but it is why we started this small family business. It is why we make small artisan batches with great ingredients. Colorado Candy Company is one of just a few candy shops left in this country that still makes thin hand spun ribbon candy. Join us in supporting Colorado Candy Company! https://www.coloradocandycompany.com/ Insider tip.... Did you know you can purchase their candy, and food from other small businesses AND have it delivered through NoCo Virtual Farmer's Market?
