Trolley Taffy Station

In March of 1986 Beehive Candy was purchased by Cindy Davis. The store was located in the Trolley Square shopping center in Salt Lake City, Utah. The small business specialized in gourmet caramel popcorn, cotton candy, fudge, and a variety of bulk candy. An old Salt Water Taffy puller was acquired by Cindy when the store was purchased, but Salt Water Taffy wasn't a focal point in the business at that time.

After some time Cindy recognized the potential of the Salt Water Taffy when she coined the company's slogan: "Have a Good Old Fashioned Taste of Utah." Then people started coming to Trolley Square from all across the country to get a "Taste of Utah" and watch the taffy being pulled before their eyes.

 

Cindy re-branded her business Trolley Taffy Station to focus on the Salt Water Taffy, but she still continued to make gourmet caramel corn along with other sweet treats. The Salt Water Taffy is so unique because it actually has real salt from the Great Salt Lake in the secret recipie and every piece of taffy is hand wrapped.

After 28 years in business at Trolley Square, the desicion was made to close the Trolley Taffy Station and move the famous Salt Water Taffy operation to Gardner Village. The new store is called Chocolate Covered Wagon but still carrys the 28 year legacy built in Trolley Square.
