It all started back in 1921, when school teacher and local candy shop owner Christian Kent Nelson was inspired by a little boy’s inability to decide between ice cream and a candy bar. And — Eureka! — the idea for ESKIMO PIE® ice cream bars was born.It was an immediate success locally, and in July 1921.n July 1921 he partnered with Russell C. Stover (the candy maker) to market and produce it and renamed it the 'Eskimo Pie. So what does this have to do with Sugarless deLite and eating right? I am so glad you asked.If you are watching your calories and fat, we have a combination one..two... punch for your palate.

Holidays, Eggs and My Meeting Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Today's Flavor Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Carmel, Mocha, Angel Food Cake and Banana Today's Special Cones $ 2.08, regularly $2.77. Please request the daily special. I really do not remember the day but I know the story. My family was in the grocery business in Downtown Atlanta from 1918-1964. Many Saturdays me and my twin brother would go to the store to "help". (Help like a 9 year old do in a warehouse) My dad said to me he wanted me to met someone. As most kids would think, I did not wanted to meet anyone. I prefer putting eggs in cartons.(For people who do not know chickens do not lay eggs in cartons that is why a 9 year old is good to take them from a large case and put them in a small carton. Great work if you can get it at 9) I was introduced to Daddy King and Martin Luther King Jr. who were buying supplies for the Ebenezer Baptist Church. I said hello and went back to putting eggs in cartons. Today as I reflect on that meeting, I remind myself h

I remind everyone that the life blood of any business small or large are the people who trade with you. We all have made cut backs to get through harder times.

Hard times do not last for ever and as we start our Twentyth I remind you of how important each of our customer is to Sugarless deLite. As many of you have seen. Brad has left our company af

Consumers are counting grams of fat, fiber, and trans fats like never before. Consumer Reports magazine had a report that warned consumers that they must read beyond the Whole Grain info on the label. The product shown in the article was a new whole grain Fig Newton. True to the label , it was whole grain but loaded with fat and sugar which made the cookie in the opinion of Consumer Reports an unhealthy product. My thoughts have always been that a little bit of knowledge can at times be harmful. Some customer will look at the Alternative Bagels from Western Bagel and only be interested in the Perfe

We got in our shipment of Chocolite. We are now restocked on all flavors of Chocolite including the Triple Chocolate Protein bars and the Peanut Butter protein drink mix. We've come to the close of my tenure at Sugarless deLite. While I won't say that it is the last time that anyone will ever see me up here, it is the last time that I'll be up here as the store manager. After all, it is hard to just up and leave a place that you've spent 1/3 of your life. So, I'll be in for a weekend or two in the future, but my future now lies elsewhere. I have to thank Rick and Stacey for everything that they have done over the years for me and my family. Two nicer people do not exist. I wish them, their family, and the business well. Their support over the years has been fantastic. It is a rarity now to find a bus

Digital Age

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Chocolate Malt, Maple Nut, New York Cheesecake, and Banana Macadamia Nut. 50% off of all cake slices. (Limit 2 per customer.) Erica and I joined the digital age two nights ago. We picked up our converter box at Target for 10.81 after the government coupon and tax was applied. After plugging it into the TV, we immediately noticed the slightly improved picture quality and several new channels. (Included a nice weather channel set from Channel 5.) Of course, we also lost several channels as well. The new converter box has a lot of nifty little features like program guides and digital sound. However, the squiggles and fuzz of the old analog set-up has been replaced with the garbled pixels of the digital age. I for one prefer slight fuzz to a constantly rearranging pixel set. I have a feeling that, when the masses get converted, there will be a lot of talk about this. I'm not sure that the digital age will be all that it is crack

The ice didn't do too much damage yesterday, but it did enough to knock out the power at the store for 1 1/2 hours. Oddly, the best business of the day came during the power outage. As long as there is light, we are able to work under most circumstances. Thankfully, the power came back on right at 5 PM, so we were able to finish out the day without having to close earlier. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get most of the work done that I was planning on the computer. I'm going to make another try for it today. Since the Merlin's are back in the store, it shou
