Meet Ethan Luedke - part 10

 

Editor's Note: Continuing Meet Me Mondays!  I am Britta Malsch, the Purchasing Manager at Anderson's Candy Shop. I also help the Andersons with social media duties.  As I enter my 10th year at the store, one of my goals has been to help introduce our family of staff to our family of customers.  I hope you enjoy this series which will hightlight all the wonderful men and women who work hard to create the Anderson's Candy that you love!  

Tenth in our series, is Ethan Luedke

Ethan is our newest edition to the Anderson's Candy Shop Family.  Ethan started at the shop in the fall of 2021 and works in the packing room and store front.  If you have shopped with us on a weekend in the past year, chances are you have seen Ethan's smiling face!

When he first started, Ethan remembers learning how to stamp the wax paper bags we put candy bars away in and learning how to properly put candy away.

Something Ethan thinks may surprise customers is that not only are the chocolates dipped in the Richmond shop but that "all of the fillings (like Buttercream, Caramel, and Nougat) are made here." 

Ethan doesn't have a favorite when it comes to milk or dark chocolate, for him it's the filling inside the 

chocolate that counts the most! 

Fond memories for Ethan while working at the candy shop include when he and Xander get into discussions about their musical tastes. "Xander has terrible taste," he jokes.

Ethan's favorite holiday to work at the candy shop is Easter. "Easter because of the cream and marshmallow eggs" he says.

And, like a few other of our staff...Valentine's Day is his least favorite, "because of the heart boxes."

(oh yes... so pretty but very difficult to pack up!)

On his days off, Ethan enjoys playing video games.
