Sweet Caching - Startup Candy Company
This virtual cache is a historical site sponsored by the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers. To receive credit, please e-mail me the answers to the questions below (as always, don’t post answers in your log and please no internet finds).
1. What year did William Startup build the first Startup candy factory?
2. What is the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers plaque number?
You should consider visiting this cache during business hours and stop in for some sweet treats. I stopped by today and picked up some freshly dipped strawberries. This has to be one of Provo’s greatest little secrets.
Here is a bit of interesting trivia. In a conversation with current factory owner, Harry Startup, they told me that years ago the Startup Candy Company sold one of their trademarks to a bottling company. The trademark was “Coke.” For additional historic information click here.
