No business grows without the help and dedication of many people. Over the years, the contribution from our employees and their belief in our vision has a made profound impact on the growth of our business.

Each person has brought his or her own unique qualities. Everyone has something to offer. Some people are organized and neat, some innovative and trend-setting, others are fussy and particular.
Over the years we have been blessed with all kinds! As you read about these people please remember how important they are to Winfrey’s Fudge & Chocolates.
It is easy to see that starting and running this business isn’t just about Stuart and me. It is about all of the people who give of themselves. They enrich our business just because of who they are. Stuart and I get to do the fun part...
We get to steer! |

Our Office Manager Betty has been running the offices since 1994. She has brought order to what can only be described as chaos. Things are filed where they can be found. Phones are answered quickly and efficiently. There is a certain hum to the day because of Betty’s presence. As Winfrey’s grows and places more complex demands on Betty’s work day she quietly smiles and moves forward performing her job. Betty demands perfection of herself and this demand is our reward! |
