DE PERE, WI (WTAQ) — Meltaways, Pecan Clusters, Carmel–all of it expected in the holiday stocking this year and it’s the 120th year that De Pere based Seroogy’s Chocolates has been providing.
“We go through a ton of chocolate a day getting ready for the season,” Marjorie Hitchcock, head of Seroogy’s Marketing, told WTAQ.
She doesn’t mean a metaphorical ton either. She means 2,000 lbs of Chocolate.
“The holidays are year-round. We’re always thinking about Christmas,” Hitchcock said. ” It’s very busy.”
The famous and much-anticipated Seroogy’s Holiday Catalog, which is always released in October, is prepared a full year ahead of time.
Around 150 employees work throughout their two locations.
“You know where it’s from. You know where it’s been. You know it’s going to be fresh. You know what it’s going to taste like,” said Hitchcock.
That local taste isn’t just available locally. Seroogy’s–founded in 1899–will ship their chocolate anywhere in the United States.
