J. Strika Candies for the Holidays

A delicious Sterling Heights Regional Chamber’s Ribbon Cutting officiated by (from left) Chamber Director David Beran, Clinton Twp. Trustee Ken Pearl,  Chamber Director Mike Weiss, Clinton Twp. Supervisor Bob Cannon, store owner, Sharon Strika-Webb, her father and the company's founder, John Strika and Sharon's husband, Bill Webb. John Strika has been successfully producing sweet treats since his arrival to the U.S. from Yugoslavia in 1947. Sixty-five years later, 82-year-old Chocolatier, John "Candy Man" Strika, still takes pride in his well-crafted skill of candy making. We continue to offer the type of chocolate from the good old days remembered by earlier generations. Such an old-fashioned process has been left behind by the commercial-sized chocolate manufacturing companies of today, yet it is the only way that J. Strika Candies operates. “We offer our customers a unique and delicious candy that is skillfully made with love and lot of heart." J. Strika Candies is by far a heavenly chocolate experience you won't want to miss.
