I was very impressed, as I am sure you were, with the rapid growth of Sweet Pete's Candy. Pete and Allison are the kind of honest and hardworking people you really want to see do well in business.

Marcus initially purchased an old 22K s.f. mansion and moved the business in there. Since then sales have skyrocketed from $400K to a forecast $4 million for 2015.

Now Marcus is talking about purchasing a another historic mansion for a million and investing a further million into renovating it for a second location. In addition, he has introduced the company to an exclusive hotel and resort chain as the first step in entering the high end hotel market.
