I was talking to my source at my lead generation company. His office is not too far from Hershey Pennsylvania and the conversation soon turned to the sweet stuff.
I had to rub it in that San Leandro also has a chocolate company with in our borders. Ghirardelli Chocolate company is located on 139th avenue between East 14th Street and Washington Avenue. Our chocolate is actually world famous for being good chocolate.
As everyone knows that the Ghirardelli chocolate company started off in San Francisco at what is now known as Ghirardelli Square. In the 1960s the factory was moved over to more modern facilities here in San Leandro.
For a while it shared the same building with Golden Grain pasta company. You may have heard of them also, they are the makers of Rice-A-Roni and Past-A-Roni "The San Francisco Treat". Only thing is that it was made in San Leandro.
Also over in San Leandro's industrial area is the home to Otis Spunkmeyer cookies, brownies and muffins. Otis Spunkmeyer is located at the corner of Catalina and Farallon.
Both Ghirardelli and Otis Spunkmeyer have factory outlets open to the public.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot that Kraft General Foods has their internation flavored coffee plant located at the corner of Halcyon and Washington.
If you want a sweet deal on a home in San Leandro, give me a call and I would be more than happy to find you a home downwind of the chocolate factory. There are some neighborhoods that smell so good with the chocolate all the time. I call the area near Ghirardelli "Chocolatetown".
