Blackwood Woman Caters to ‘Friendlier’ People with Candy Shop
Goucester Township, NJ – It was at a funeral, of all places, when Pat Mahoney McLeod decided to get into the candy business.
“I was sitting there thinking when I die, I don’t want people to think, ‘She didn’t do anything. It’s a shame she never opened her store,'” recalls McLeod, who lives in Gloucester Township’s Blackwood section.
So McLeod decided to take action. After 19 years checking credit reports for mortgage applicants—and just as long bringing in treats for her coworkers—McLeod quit her job to open her own candy store.
