Edwards Freeman Nut Company<\/a> in Conshohocken.<\/p>\n“It’s just an amazing place right now,” he said among aisles and aisles of old-time and new-school candy.<\/p>\n
There was even an old-fashioned peanut cart harking back to 1899, when the stand was first established in South Philadelphia.<\/p>\n
“So, it was all nuts, basically,” Nelson said. “I came in here about 30 years ago and added just about everything you can find.”<\/p>\n
After all this time, Edwards Freeman offered the treat that made them a destination more than a century ago.<\/p>\n
“We still make all the different nut butters: peanut butter, cappuccino, cashew,” Nelson said.<\/p>\n
Nelson said he loved serving up memories for generation after generation.<\/p>\n
“I’ve seen people start out as kids become parents, and grandparents,” Nelson said. “It’s like a family tradition. They always bring their families here every holiday, and then they start coming here as kids and as young adults and they bring their children here.”<\/p>\n
And with every tasty treat from candy to coffee, Nelson got the chance to carry history into the future for his family.<\/p>\n
“It means a lot. It means they trust me,” Nelson said. “I’ll do everything I can to make this the best experience of your life.”<\/p>\n
