In 1929, on the brink of the Depression, our father and grandfather
“Poppy” Sol took a bold step. 22 years old, he had already
worked fulltime for 10 years to support his family. Yet he was
ambitious, and wanted to live the American Dream and make the lives of
everyone around him better. So, donning his best of suits and an
assured smile on his face, Sol walked away from the bank with a loan
to start his own business, the Newark Nut Company. The rest is
history.
Let us tell you all about it:
As the second and third generation of this business, we live
and breathe what we do here at Nuts.com. This business has
survived the Great Depression, Poppy Sol going off to fight in
World War II, our warehouse being firebombed in the Newark riots
in 1967, and relocations by the city of Newark in both 1984 and
2005. Working side-by-side with family isn't always the easiest of
things, but at the end of the day we are grateful to be together.
