FARMINGDALE, NY The coronavirus pandemic has been nothing but bitter for Sweet City Snacks & Candy Co., a Farmingdale-based retailer and wholesaler of sweet and salty favorites.
The business, which also goes by Hardscrabble Wholesale, is a purveyor of snacks such as chocolate, Combos, soda, water, and its Brooklyn Delights-branded brownies and cookies. The 848 Main St. warehouse serves as a walk-in for customers looking to pick up a box of snacks or a truck-loading station for the nearest school or convenience store. However, sales are down by roughly 48 percent since the pandemic began, Frank Raimondi, a president of the business, told Patch.
