Just Born in Bethlehem, PA

Just Born, located in Bethlehem, PA, manufactures and distributes various confectionary wonders, such as Hot Tamales, Mike and Ike, but most importantly, Peeps! While in Allentown, PA, for a show, I decided to take a trip by their factory. While the factory does not offer tours, it was still fun to see the outside of the building and the Peeps mobile. Founded in 1923, the company relocated to Bethlehem, PA, in 1932. In 1953, Just Born acquired the Rodda Candy Company, which was a manufacturer of jelly beans and the seasonal Easter candy known as Peeps. Thus, Peeps were then Just Born. 🙂
