Since 1961
Murl Nelson Sr started with caramel apples for local schools, churches and county fairs. His son Steve and Steve's wife Mary came in a few years later and built out the popcorn line. Ice Tickles followed in the eighties, California Treats in 1992. Same family, same building between the 10 and the 60.
