Startup Candy Company 534 South 100 West, Provo, 84601 - a National Register of Historic Place. William Startup founded his candy business in Manchester England in the 1830's, naming it American Cough Candy after his dream of coming to America. In 1868, his son William Daw Startup arrived in the Salt Lake Valley with a group of Mormon Pioneers. Since Bill moved his company down to Provo in 1874, it has been passed down through generations to today. Startup Candy invented the very first filled candy bar, and the precursor to breath mints. The factory was built in 1900, and was designated to Provo City Historic Landmarks registry. They have the original tools on display, and you can learn how their candy is hand-made.
