History

Established in 1892.

In 1892 Chester A. Asher founded his candy making business after coming to Philadelphia, from Canada, just two years earlier. The company began in center city Philadelphia, moving to its former location in historical Germantown. Mr. Asher’s expertise was passed on to the second generation-​four sons-​who ran the business until 1966. C.A. Asher is still family owned and under the direction of the third and fourth consecutive Asher generations. Asher’s offers a wide selection of chocolates and other confections from Pecan Pralines to our award-​winning Chocolate Covered Pretzels, and creamy Fudge. We also have one of the largest lines of Sugar Free, Low Sodium Chocolates in the industry. The tradition of producing fine quality chocolates continues. Asher’s Chocolates is located in their corporate headquarters in Souderton, Pennsylvania. This 125,000 square foot building now houses the Factory, the Executive Offices and Shipping. The specialty lines still remain in Lewistown.
