In 1976, [[David Klein (businessman)|David Klein]], a candy and nut distributor, approached the Herman Goelitz Candy Company and requested a new type of jelly bean.<ref>Klein David Klein was "Mr.Jelly Belly until the trademark was sold in 1580. ..[http://www.germanheritage.com/biographies/atol/goelitz.html German American Corner: The Goelitz Family: Candy Corn & Jelly Belly<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref><ref name="trade">[http://www.chocolatetradingco.com/browsemanufacturer.asp?ID=11] Chocolate Trading Company</ref>


===1866–1913===
Fourth-generation Goelitz descendent Herman G. Rowland, Sr. and his parents had decided to expand the company's products more than a decade before. The company was the first American manufacturer to make a [[gummy bear]] for the US market. They also made candy corn, mellocremes, gummi worms, giant jelly beans and mini jelly beans, which were the precursor to the Jelly Belly. Confectioner [[Marinus van Dam]] was employed by the company to manage the plant and oversee new product development with Herman obtaining a candy manufacturing degree in the Netherlands, he emigrated to the [[United States]] and went to work for the Herman Goelitz Candy Company in the 1960s. He rose to the level of vice president before moving on to other companies and finally starting his own business, [[Marich Confectionery]].
[[File:Goelitz Candy Corn.jpg|150px|thumb|Packing of Goelitz candy corn]]
Gustav Goelitz came to the United States in 1866 from Germany and in 1869 started the confectionery business Gustav Goelitz in [[Belleville, Illinois]].<ref name="Gustav Goelitz">{{cite web |url=http://www.immigrantentrepreneurship.org/entry.php?rec=142 |title=Gustav Goelitz (1846-1901) |last=Bearden-White |first=Christina |date=March 3, 2013 |website=Immigrant Entrepreneurship |publisher=German Historical Institute |access-date=October 17, 2014 |archive-date=November 13, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141113072633/http://www.immigrantentrepreneurship.org/entry.php?rec=142 |url-status=live }}</ref> His younger brothers, Albert and George, emigrated to America soon after joining him in the business.
In 1898, the company began manufacturing [[mellowcreme]] candies (also called mellow cream or butter cream). [[Candy corn]], a type of mellowcreme candy, was likely developed by George Renniger, an employee of Wunderle's Candy Company in [[Philadelphia]].
The Goelitz Confectionery Company was successful in selling a variety of mellowcreme candy including candy corn.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.bhg.com/halloween/recipes/the-history-of-candy-corn|title=The History of Candy Corn: A Halloween Candy Favorite|date=2015-08-28|newspaper=Better Homes and Gardens|access-date=2016-10-18|archive-date=2016-10-14|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161014115917/http://www.bhg.com/halloween/recipes/the-history-of-candy-corn/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://theplate.nationalgeographic.com/2015/10/27/the-saccharine-history-of-candy-corn|title=The Saccharine History of Candy Corn {{!}} National Geographic {{!}} The Plate|date=2015-10-27|access-date=2016-10-18|archive-date=2016-10-20|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161020103740/http://theplate.nationalgeographic.com/2015/10/27/the-saccharine-history-of-candy-corn/|url-status=dead}}</ref> In 1900 the company opened a factory in Cincinnati and in 1904 the company opened another factory in [[Chicago]]. Eventually, the company relocated to North Chicago in 1913.<ref name="Gustav Goelitz" />


===1913–1980===
Traditional jelly beans started out with plain, uncolored pectin centers that were merely sweetened with sugar. Only the outer candy coating was colored and flavored. The third and fourth generations of the candy family decided to produce a superior jelly bean to set itself apart from traditional jelly beans. The centers for the company's mini jelly bean were colored and flavored. This flavor-enhancing process was also used on the outer candy shell. With the new generation of Jelly Belly beans, the company used real [[fruit juice]]s and natural flavors when possible with the intent of improving flavor. The finished Jelly Belly beans contained about half the sugar of the regular jelly bean, and were more flavorful than the generic jelly beans sold in stores.
Herman Goelitz, the son of Gustav, moved to the [[West Coast of the United States|West Coast]] to start his own business, Herman Goelitz Candy Company. The company eventually settled in [[Oakland, California]] in 1924. In the 1960s, the company began to expand the product line to include [[jelly beans]], various [[Gelatin dessert|jells]], and other confections. "One of those new products was a small and very flavorful Mini Jelly Bean [developed in 1965]."<ref name="CNBC2012">{{Cite web |url=http://video.cnbc.com/gallery/?video=3000075839 |title=How I Made My Millions: Episode 14 |date=February 28, 2012 |website=CNBC |access-date=October 28, 2014 |archive-date=December 25, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131225045930/http://video.cnbc.com/gallery/?video=3000075839 |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://jellybelly.com/Info/newsandevents/hillOfBeans |title=A Hill of Beans, Jelly Belly on CNBC |website=Jelly Belly |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141028191517/https://jellybelly.com/Info/newsandevents/hillOfBeans |archive-date=October 28, 2014 |access-date=October 28, 2014 }}</ref> The Mini Jelly Bean had natural flavoring added to the center and the outer shell was flavored, which was innovative for the time.


[[Ronald Reagan]], who "had quit smoking years before and turned to popping candy as an oral substitute", first tried the company's [mini] jelly beans in 1969. According to Maria Wilhelm of [[People (magazine)|''People'' magazine]], he was "hooked" upon receiving the beans from Rowland.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.people.com/people/archive/article/0,,20078676,00.html |title=If the Reagan Administration Is Full of Beans, Blame Jelly Belly Baron Herman Rowland |last=Wilhelm |first=Maria |date=February 23, 1981 |website=People Magazine |access-date=October 28, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141028195612/http://www.people.com/people/archive/article/0,,20078676,00.html |archive-date=October 28, 2014 |url-status=dead}}</ref>
David Klein sold the first Jelly Belly jelly beans in an ice cream parlor, Fosselman's, in [[Alhambra, California]] in 1976. The first flavors were Very Cherry, Tangerine, Lemon, Green Apple, Grape Jelly, Licorice, Root Beer, and Cream Soda. Total sales for the first seven-day period was $44. The product was selling for $2 per pound, which was considered a very high price at the time. Klein is no longer associated with this jelly bean and has his own company which makes David's Signature Jelly Beans.


Reagan wrote to Herman Rowland as governor in 1973, "we can hardly start a meeting or make a decision without passing around the jar of jelly beans."<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna5166402 |title=Jelly Belly honors Reagan |website=[[NBC News]] |date=June 8, 2004 |access-date=June 6, 2023 |archive-date=June 6, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230606162739/https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna5166402 |url-status=live }}</ref>
Jelly Belly jelly beans were a favorite of [[U.S. President]] [[Ronald Reagan]], who kept a jar of them on his desk in the [[White House]], [[Blair House]] and on [[Air Force One]].<ref name="autogenerated3" /> and who also made them the first jelly beans in outer space, sending them on the [[Space Shuttle Challenger|Shuttle Orbiter Challenger]] during the [[STS-7]] mission in 1983, as a surprise for the [[astronaut]]s.<ref name="autogenerated3" />


In 1976, [[David Klein (businessman)|David Klein]], a candy and nut distributor, collaborated with Herman Rowland (grandson of Herman Goelitz) to develop a jelly bean using natural flavoring. Using the Mini Jelly Bean concept, the Jelly Belly jelly bean was created.<ref name="NewYorkTimes">{{cite news |url=https://nytimes.com/2008/06/26/business/smallbusiness/26sbiz.html |title=Not Just Another Jelly Bean |last=Murphy |first=Kate |date=June 26, 2008 |newspaper=The New York Times |access-date=October 17, 2014 |archive-date=April 2, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150402191709/http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/26/business/smallbusiness/26sbiz.html |url-status=live }}</ref> David Klein hired Herman Goelitz Candy Company as his contract manufacturer to produce the bean. David Klein called the bean, Jelly Belly jelly bean.

The Jelly Belly Factory in [[Fairfield, California]], has daily tours and was named "Best Factory Tour in America" by a 2005 ''[[Reader's Digest]]'' article. The tours, which are free for anyone, take visitors along suspended walkways over the rooms where the candy is manufactured, stopping them from time to time to watch video segments about what is going on below. Free samples are distributed afterward. Visitors can also purchase bags of '''Belly Flops''', imperfect jelly beans that didn't quite make it to specification.

Jelly Belly Candy Company, formerly known as Herman Goelitz Candy Company and Goelitz Confectionery Company, is an American company that manufactures Jelly Belly jelly beans and other candy.[2]

The company is based in Fairfield, California, with a second manufacturing facility in North Chicago, Illinois. A distribution and visitor center in Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin closed in 2020.[3] In October 2008, the company opened a 50,000 sq ft (4,645 m2) manufacturing plant in Rayong, Thailand, where it produces confections for the international market.[4] In October 2023, the Ferrara Candy Company announced an agreement to acquire Jelly Belly Candy Company.[5]

History

[edit]

1866–1913

[edit]
Packing of Goelitz candy corn

Gustav Goelitz came to the United States in 1866 from Germany and in 1869 started the confectionery business Gustav Goelitz in Belleville, Illinois.[6] His younger brothers, Albert and George, emigrated to America soon after joining him in the business. In 1898, the company began manufacturing mellowcreme candies (also called mellow cream or butter cream). Candy corn, a type of mellowcreme candy, was likely developed by George Renniger, an employee of Wunderle's Candy Company in Philadelphia. The Goelitz Confectionery Company was successful in selling a variety of mellowcreme candy including candy corn.[7][8] In 1900 the company opened a factory in Cincinnati and in 1904 the company opened another factory in Chicago. Eventually, the company relocated to North Chicago in 1913.[6]

1913–1980

[edit]

Herman Goelitz, the son of Gustav, moved to the West Coast to start his own business, Herman Goelitz Candy Company. The company eventually settled in Oakland, California in 1924. In the 1960s, the company began to expand the product line to include jelly beans, various jells, and other confections. "One of those new products was a small and very flavorful Mini Jelly Bean [developed in 1965]."[9][10] The Mini Jelly Bean had natural flavoring added to the center and the outer shell was flavored, which was innovative for the time.

Ronald Reagan, who "had quit smoking years before and turned to popping candy as an oral substitute", first tried the company's [mini] jelly beans in 1969. According to Maria Wilhelm of People magazine, he was "hooked" upon receiving the beans from Rowland.[11]

Reagan wrote to Herman Rowland as governor in 1973, "we can hardly start a meeting or make a decision without passing around the jar of jelly beans."[12]

In 1976, David Klein, a candy and nut distributor, collaborated with Herman Rowland (grandson of Herman Goelitz) to develop a jelly bean using natural flavoring. Using the Mini Jelly Bean concept, the Jelly Belly jelly bean was created.[13] David Klein hired Herman Goelitz Candy Company as his contract manufacturer to produce the bean. David Klein called the bean, Jelly Belly jelly bean. Klein coined the name "Jelly Belly" as a tribute to blues musician Lead Belly, and was responsible for the design of the product's famous red and yellow trademark.[14]

David Klein sold the first Jelly Belly jelly beans in 1976 at an ice cream parlor called Fosselman's in Alhambra, California. The first flavors were Very Cherry, Tangerine, Lemon, Green Apple, Grape, Licorice, Root Beer, and Cream Soda.[15] It was David Klein's idea "to sell them as separate flavors instead of a variety pack...".[16]

1980–present

[edit]

Marinus van Dam, product developer and plant manager for the company, oversaw the development of Jelly Belly jelly beans. By the 1980s, many flavors had been developed. In 1980, Klein sold the Jelly Belly trademark.[17] "David Klein sold the Jelly Belly trademark to Rowland for $4.8 million, paid in monthly installments over 20 years, which Klein split with a partner."[18] The Jelly Belly trademark was registered August 3, 1982.[19] The Mr. Jelly Belly character was developed in 1983. Prior to the development of the character David Klein called himself "Mr. Jelly Belly."

Reagan takes a jelly bean out of a jar, 1985.

The general public became aware of Reagan's preference for the jelly beans in 1981.[20] The company supplied him with the beans throughout his presidency.[21] Chairman Rowland recalls, "We were thrilled by press reports that President Reagan gave jars of Jelly Belly jelly beans to visiting dignitaries."[20] Reagan made them the first jelly beans in space, sending them on the Space Shuttle Challenger during the STS-7 mission in 1983, surprising the astronauts.[22] However, he "started to favor M&M's as the official White House candy during his eighth and final year in office."[23]

In 2001, the company renamed itself to Jelly Belly Candy Company.[13]

In 2022, the company countersued Klein in federal court for falsely claiming to be the founder of the company.[24]

In October 2023, The Ferrara Candy Company announced an agreement to acquire Jelly Belly Candy Company through CTH Invest, the lead holding company of Ferrara. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.[5]

Jelly beans

[edit]

The company's signature product, the Jelly Belly jelly bean, comes in more than 50 varieties ranging from traditional flavors like orange, lemon lime, and very cherry, to more exotic ones like cinnamon, pomegranate, cappuccino, buttered popcorn, and chili-mango.[25]

Jelly Belly Candy Company manufactures numerous specialty Jelly Belly jelly beans with licensed products like Tabasco sauce and uncommon candy tastes like egg nog and pancakes with maple syrup.[26] A few flavors such as lychee and green tea, are sold only in markets outside the United States.[26]

Several flavors have been based on popular alcoholic beverages, beginning with Mai Tai in 1977.[27] Over the years, new additions have included strawberry daiquiri, margarita, mojito, and piña colada.[27] Draft beer, a flavor inspired by Hefeweizen ale, was introduced in 2014.[27][28] All flavors are entirely alcohol-free.[27]

"Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans" were inspired by the Harry Potter book series and featured intentionally gruesome flavors such as "Vomit", "Earwax", "Skunk Spray", "Rotten Egg" and "Grass". A similar product dubbed "BeanBoozled" pairs lookalike "normal" flavors with weird flavors, such as "Peach" and "Barf".[29][30]

"Sport Beans" are jelly beans designed to provide physical energy and enhance athletic performance.[9][31] They contain carbohydrates, electrolytes (in the form of sodium and potassium), and vitamins B1, B2, B3 and C.[32] "Extreme Sport Beans" include the additional boost of caffeine.[31][32]

Other candies

[edit]

The company makes over 100 different confections including chocolates, licorice, gummies, and candy corn.[33]

Facilities

[edit]

The company operates three manufacturing plants in Fairfield, California; North Chicago, Illinois; and Rayong, Thailand. A fourth facility in Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin, was a distribution center and a visitor center until liquidation began on August 3, 2020; it closed.[3][34][35]
