quality street

Quality streets slogan is “What a delicious dilemma”, In 1890 John


Mackintosh and his wife opened a shop in Halifax, where they created a new
kind of sweet by mixing hard toffee with runny caramel. These toffees were
made from inexpensive local ingredients such as milk, sugar beets and eggs.
They were so successful that in 1898 they expanded the operation to build the
world's first toffee factory. It burned down in 1909, so John bought an old
carpet factory and switched it into a new facility. When John Mackintosh died,
his son Harold inherited the business and in 1936 he invented Quality Street.
Quality Street has been given a fresh new look as the first tubs and tins of 2019
hit supermarket shelves. The vibrant redesign takes its cue from the famous
multi-coloured foils and twist wraps of the classic Quality Street assortment and
features an explosion of colour adorning the traditional purple background. The
target audience are young to middle aged adults (25–40). Related and rival are
celebrations, hero’s, roses.
