Dear See’s Family,
As we continue to manage through these unprecedented times, the health and safety
of our employees and customers remains our top priority. As a See’s customer, you
know we’re focused on making the best candy possible and caring for our customers.
One of the best ways we can do that is to make all the necessary improvements to
ensure we’re living up to your expectations in every aspect of how See’s operates.
“Quality Without Compromise” is our longstanding motto, and that stands true now
more than ever. See’s has always believed in delivering the freshest, most delicious
candy possible, in the best way we know how. Because we make pretty much
everything we sell, we have two really important workplaces to get right—our
manufacturing and packing facilities and our retail shops. Because we won’t cut
corners, and because our employees are like family, we meticulously worked through
every step in the process to make sure we’re safe before we’ll reinitiate production or
open shops.
We are excited to share that we have recently reopened our San Francisco and Los
Angeles candy kitchens. While this means we are now able to safely make our
candies, you can almost say we are starting from scratch. Your tried and true favorites
may not be available immediately, but the recipes and care we put in to making every
piece is exactly the same. Please don’t despair... while these adjustments are
necessary as we slowly reopen, we have not discontinued any items. We may not have
everything in stock, but this is a great time to try a new flavor and explore our
assortment. (Trust us, they’re all great!)
In addition to making candy again, we launched a convenient way to shop with contact
free pick up we call Click... Pick... & Go! Currently, at select locations, you can order
online and pick up at a participating shop. We have designated pick up areas located
just outside the store that supports safe social distancing for you and your favorite
See’s employees. We will continue to roll this out to more locations, and our goal is to
open Click... Pick... & Go! in as many locations as possible. Please visit
pickup.sees.com to see if there is a location near you.
If your local shop isn’t offering pick up service, we ask for your patience as we are
working hard to make fresh candy and get our associates back into our reconfigured
shops. In the meantime, our website will continue to offer shipping promotions
throughout the summer. Delivering delicious chocolate in the warmer weather takes
extra care and packaging, including ice packs and insulation, to ensure that your candy
arrives at your doorstep exactly as you have come to expect from See’s. Those
additional measures do add weight and cost to packages, but we are continuing to find
ways to provide even more promotions this year, and to give you opportunities to try
products that may be shipped without the additional packaging and cost.
When I started with See’s I set a goal to get to each and every store, which is nearly
250. Before this event changed our lives, I was able to visit just over 200 in a little over
a year, and I enjoyed every one. I was able to support the best team in retail, talk with
great customers and taste (devour) the most delicious candy you can find anywhere. I
learned many things on that journey, but the most important lessons were: you want
your See’s Candies, and you also want to see our smiling and fantastic team.
We appreciate your patience as we re-start this grand business so we can serve you
even better in the years to come. We hope to either delight you by bringing joy to your
doorstep or by seeing you pick up your treats at one of our stores.
All the best,
