Richard Wood, the longtime owner of Fernwood Candy and Ice Cream, which turned mint-and-chocolate treats into a Utah holiday tradition, has died.
He turned the family business from ice cream shops to selling its mint-chocolate treats in retail stores.
At its height, Fernwood Candy and Ice Cream had 13 stores — including locations in Salt Lake City, Bountiful and Orem — and employed hundreds of people. Waking up to find a box of Fernwood chocolate sandwich candies in your stocking is a tradition familiar to many Utahns, Todd Wood said. “During the summer, and during holidays, we’d work six days a week, half-days, except on Sundays, which was the day we rest and go to church,” Todd Wood said. “Six days a week for my father meant six in the morning to six o’clock at night — that was half a day. He always grew up thinking everybody worked 80 to 90 hours a week. That’s just what you do. So half-days for my father were 12 hours.”
