In 1923, two founders started making candy in the kitchen of their bungalow in Denver. Based in Kansas, Missouri, the company initially employed seven people and was originally known as Mrs. Stover's cottage candy. As other companies soon began releasing similar chocolate products, Russell Stover was almost forced out of business. So they sold the company for $25,000 and moved to Denver, Colorado. In 1923, the founders opened a new eponymous company from their home to package and sell boxes of chocolate. However, 20 years later in 1943, it changed its name to current name. Russell Stover is the leading manufacturer of boxed chocolate in the United States and the third largest chocolate-maker in the country, behind Hershey and Mars. The company's three brands account for more than 60 percent of all boxed chocolate sales in the United States.
