As of a 2019 profile in the local press, the business was described as roughly 30 years old and led by president and chief executive Elie Abikhaled, placing its founding in the late 1980s. Its specialty was the kind of regional confection that traveled well as a gift: Southern pecans and candies packed into custom tins for holidays, corporate giving, and occasions.</p>
