See's CandiesSee's Candies is a manufacturer and distributor of high quality candy, particularly chocolate, in the western United States. It was founded by Charles See in Los Angeles, California in November of 1921. The company is now headquartered in South San Francisco, California. It has kitchens at its headquarters and at a second location in Los Angeles. The company is famous for its products, which it markets only in its own stores, allowing it to control the standards under which they are stored and marketed. It is also well-known for being one of the very early investments purchased by Warren Buffett for his Berkshire Hathaway Corporation (in 1972), beginning the path of that company from a textile concern to being one of the world's most successful conglomerates. The company's distinctive white stores are a ubiquitous sight in nearly every U.S. state west of the Mississippi. There are also international stores in Hong Kong and Tokyo. External link
