We’re Celebrating 75 Years in Business! HERE’S A PEEK INSIDE T H E H O L I D AY M A G I C O F R E I D S
Our signature Tortoises come to life with a generous layer of fresh caramel. We’ve been making these since the 1980s!
What once started as a humble nut shop in 1948, founded by Raymond Gibney, has grown over the last 75 years into a beloved landmark, thanks to our supportive community. At the heart of it all has always been family. Hugh & Isabelle Reid became the new owners in 1960, and then our parents, Tom & Kathy Drew-Smith, took it over in 1971. They expanded its offerings to include handmade chocolates and confections, many of which we still make today! Of course, we do things a little differently now. Several years ago, we opened our 8,800 square-foot factory on Elgin Street – a bustling facility where all the magic happens at once! On any given day, we’re busy freshly roasting nuts, preparing the caramels for their journey through the wall of chocolate, marking each of our famous Tortoises, and carefully packing our assorted chocolates, which are now sold by the thousands across our three locations. Teresa, our Production Manager and Chocolatier, hand-marking the Tortoises.

BASKETS & BOXES (CONT'D)
As we continue to grow, we are proud to maintain Reids as a family-owned and operated business, and that spirit of family carries across our entire team. So many have been with us for years (we even have some third-generation staff members!), making every part of what we do a true labour of love.
Above: Scooping up fresh pecans which provides a delicious nutty base. Right: Ted Drew-Smith, Co-Owner and our Master Chocolatier, preparing the Tortoises for their journey through a wall of chocolate.
That sense of family is always prominent, but never more than during the holidays. Every drizzle of chocolate, every inch of wrapping paper, every bow we tie is done with extra care, knowing that you’re sharing our goodies with your loved ones. Our storefront staff are delighted to see so many returning faces year after year, especially with your children or grandchildren in tow. Thank you for making Reids a special part of your festive traditions for all these years – it means so much to us. Here’s to the next 75! From our family to yours, wishing you a very merry Christmas, and happy holidays! CARRIE PEART & TED DREW-SMITH
Sister & Brother Co-owners of Reids
