American Licorice Company, based in Bend, Oregon, traces its roots back to 1914 when founder Martin Kretchmer ventured into the licorice business after an unsuccessful stint in chocolate. Starting with a humble cart in downtown Chicago, the company has since grown to offer beloved brands like Red Vines and Sour Punch, with a focus on sustainability and community partnerships.
Driven by a mission to provide a sweeter start for young people, American Licorice Company prioritizes its team, customers, and the environment. Through collaborations with nonprofits like Flanner House, the company aims to empower youth in communities through initiatives such as organic farming, embodying a commitment to social responsibility and positive impact.
