Mike Crudden from Rosalind’s Candy Castle stopped by for Show and Tell on Teleforum today March 8, 2018. Mike and Frank talked about the rich history of Rosalind Candy Castle that dates back to 1914. Mike told everyone that Gust Zachos immigrated to the United States from Greece in 1912 when he opened up a restaurant/soda fountain business in Freedom, Pennsylvania.
Gust had worked with relatives in Greece making candy and decided during his slow periods in the restaurant he would make chocolate confections. He believed that quality was the most important factor in making a good product. Gust bought all the best ingredients available and put them together and started what would become Rosalind Candy Castle.
In 1914, the candy part of his business was growing so he decided to have a contest to give his confections a name. The name was chosen from two entries. Rosalind Candy Store and The Candy Castle, so Gust named his store Rosalind Candy Castle. The store was moved to 128-130 Brighton Avenue in Rochester, Pennsylvania. Gust continued to make more types of chocolate confections and soon the candy business was growing faster than the restaurant business.
To better accommodate the candy end of the business, Gust moved the store to 11th Street & 3rd Avenue in New Brighton, Pennsylvania. At this time, Medard Zaluska was the main candy maker who was aided by John Crudden while Elizabeth Crudden managed the store and the restaurant end of the business.
As the business continued to grow, the building on 3rd Avenue became too small to keep up with the candy demand. So a new store was built in 1951 at the current location at the corner of 13th Street & 5th Avenue, New Brighton, Pennsylvania. The building was completed in 1952 and that became the new home of Rosalind Candy Castle. The restaurant part of the business ended to concentrate on the ever increasing demand for the candy.
Gust became ill during this period and the Crudden and Zaluska families continued to operate the business and upon Gust passing purchased the business. Jim Crudden is currently president and continues to uphold the traditions of its founder and continues to demonstrate an unmatched passion for chocolates.
Rosalind’s insists on the highest of product quality. Mike explained that they continue to make all of the candy from scratch using the finest ingredients from around the world. Pure dairy cream and butter are still used in candy recipes, nuts are still roasted to perfection before being covered in a silky smooth chocolate.
Rosalind’s reputation for superb chocolates continues to grow earning the respect of chocolate lovers throughout the tri-state area. Many new confections have been made since Rosalind’s start in 1914, but one thing remains constant, and that is our commitment to quality you can taste since 1914.
Mike told everyone that the Easter bunny will be appearing at Rosalind’s this Sunday March the 11th. There will be many photo opportunities and each person will receive an egg with a chocolate treat for free just for coming. Some of the eggs might even have a surprise in them.
Mike’s interview also included a show and tell segment that was streamed on Facebook Live highlighting some of the candy they are selling for Easter this year. Below are photos of some of the items Mike brought in for Show and Tell.
The Entire interview was on Facebook Live!!! Check out the video…….

PennDOT on Monday announced it intends to spend $52 million on 16 projects in Beaver County this year. Those projects will include the rehabilitation of 13 bridges and the repaving and resurfacing of 25 miles of roadway.
Some of the work will be a continuation from years’ past. For instance, minor work still remains on the Vanport Bridge rehabilitation project that will require single-lane restrictions in the spring. Despite that, the nearly-$16 million project is slated to end this year.
Another significant layover from last year is the ongoing Freedom Road improvement project, which started in 2016 and won’t be complete until next year. Work for this year includes the completion of two new bridges, asphalt paving, excavation work, guiderail updates and drainage improvements in the area.
Roadway resurfacing will take place on Route 65 from March through May, work that will require long-term lane restrictions between Baden and Conway. The multi-year paving project is expected to be complete this year.
Repaving work will continue on Interstate 376 from the Chippewa exit to the Allegheny County line, while the $27.5 million Koppel Bridge replacement project will continue throughout the year as it nears a completion date of summer 2019.
PennDOT also announced Monday that 10 new projects will start this year.
Milling and resurfacing of Route 18 and Old Brodhead Road in Monaca and Center Township. The project is expected to begin in June and will last until late next year.
Work on Route 18 will occur between the Rochester-Monaca Bridge and the Monaca/Shippingport exit on Interstate 376. In addition, paving work will occur on a section of Pennsylvania Avenue in Monaca. PennDOT said single-lane restrictions and alternating traffic patterns will be needed for the project.
