Ye Olde Pepper Candy Companie - Salem, MA, 1806

George Burkinshaw used to sweep the floor of this shop as a child, before purchasing Ye Olde Pepper Companie from its original owners. Salem Gibralters—a hard candy in lemon and peppermint flavors—and licorice Black Jack candy were the first commercially available candies in America, and are still on the line-up at Pepper Companie.
