In that time, she and Joe learned about the business in the best way — making caramels with her dad.

Spreading out They expanded the business, opening a Troy location in 1995, two franchises in Dayton and a shop in German Village near Columbus. “People are so gleeful we’re there,” Laurie said about the German Village Winans. “They walk in there and say, ‘We grew up on your chocolate and we haven’t had any in years.’” The Piqua location moved into Fort Piqua Plaza two years ago. The candies for all branches are made in a factory in Piqua, allowing Winans to keep its main ingredient — freshness. “Our chocolates are PROVIDED PHOTO made in small batches, Candymaker Clara Hutton makes chocolate-covered raspberries at Winans fac- with no preservatives and they are never frozen like tory in Piqua.

They’ve put together a signature box, which has rows of caramels, meltaways, Miss Claras, peanut butter delights, buckeyes and toffees.

Our products are not made in advance or stored for long periods of time. Fresh daily is our key to success.”

Winans hosts Business After Hours for the chambers of commerce in Piqua, Troy, Tipp City and Covington. Also, special promotions will be carried throughout the year. Winans Fine Chocolates and Coffees is one of the oldest, familyowned and operated chocolate confectionaries in the country. Before the 1961 opening of the Carriage House, two generations owned bakeries, and candies were a big part of that as well. “I found an entry in my great-grandmother’s diary that talks about them making candy for my great-grandfather’s bakery in 1929 and that is over 80 years ago,” Laurie said. Winans is dedicated to old family recipes from butter, orange and maple creams, toffees, Bavarian mints and wurtles, to handwrapped caramels and old-fashioned brittles. Winans uses one of the oldest Hobart mixers in the world and still uses original copper kettles to make its delicious confections.

Making changes

Bring on the caramel “Definitely anything made with our caramel is very popular,” said Clara Hutton, who has been a Winans chocolate maker for 42 years. The number of pounds of chocolate that have been made with Hutton’s special touch have to number in the hundreds of thousands. A special chocolate piece

local, Laurie encourages it. Winans is a big supporter of the businesses that share the community. Winans employ local people and support local non profits. Laurie spoke of people ordering goods from outside the city or state. “There are businesses in Piqua and Troy that can do the same thing,” she said.

Looking toward the holidays

The Miss Clara is a toffee piece that has almost overtaken the caramels and wurtles as a customer favorite. The family aspect of the business isn’t just in the Winans name. “Three members of our candymaker’s family work for us, and we have a mother/daughter team … one works in our office and the other is our basket designer,” Laurie said. “We have three longtime employees over

78 years of age who work for us, and one is 85.”

What’s next? As for the next generation — will the family tradition continue? It’s possible. Laurie and Joe’s two children, now in college, have shown interest in the business. Wilson has taken to the coffee side of things, and Madison is interested in third world development. Both interests and skills segway into the

business as Winans looks into growing its own products. Joe recently took a trip to Honduras trying to form a partnership to grow their own chocolate and coffee. “People are becoming more interested in local products, but chocolate and coffee can’t be local,” Laurie said. They hope to establish a good relationship in South America to take care of the farmers and the people making their product. When you can buy

As we head into the holiday season, Laurie encourages customers to stop by in November. “Be the first in the door at Thanksgiving,” she said, suggesting giving gifts for the office or dinner hosts when they can enjoy it rather than at Christmas when they’re bombarded with similar tidings. The Reisers wish to thank their daily and holiday customers for their growth and success. “To our faithful customers, we at Winans thank you for keeping our family tradition alive, and for those of you who have not yet tried Winans, maybe it is time to start a new tradition.”

A few updates have been incorporated in the last five decades, including the addition of coffee. Its award-winning coffee has been voted best in Dayton the past four years. Joe Reiser, an avid coffee lover, has educated himself on coffees around the world. He sources and roasts the highest quality beans, and once again, fresh-

ness is key. “We roast in the morning, and the beans are in the stores that afternoon. Our coffees have added a whole new and fun side to our business,” he said. Another addition throughout the years has been the two websites. The site www.winanscandies.com features Winans traditional chocolates and coffees, and www.tailgatertreats.com is for buckeye lovers everywhere. Winans has the ability to ship their products all over the world. The shop now handles large corporate orders during the holidays, but will still pack a box for you while you wait so you can choose only your favorite pieces.

LeDoux’s makes a downtown move BY LINDY JURACK iN75 Editor TROY — Fans of LeDoux’s Restaurant in Troy may be wondering where it went. The doors of its eatery on County Road 25-A are shut. But the restaurant that brings Louisiana to Ohio is not gone for good. LeDoux’s is in the process of moving to downtown Troy. Owner Don LeDoux has acquired the building at 118 W. Main St., which most recently housed the County Seat, and is working hard painting and redecorating to reopen in the near future. Don said he chose to move his business downtown for a few reasons. “The first reason is the energy around downtown Troy. Troy Mainstreet really keeps their finger on the pulse of Troy,” he said, adding he plans to get “every bit involved” with downtown events like Sculptures on the Square. He also chose the location, which has two large windows that look out over Main Street, because the area gets more foot traffic and for the sheer beauty of the building. “This building just has so much character. It feels

“This building just has so much character. It feels like southern Louisiana.” — Don LeDoux like southern Louisiana,” Don said, and he would know. He grew up in Lafayette, learning how to cook from his family — mainly his grandmother. “I burned a lot of dishes,” he said about his early attempts in the kitchen. Chef isn’t his only title at LeDoux’s. He does a little bit of everything from washing dishes to managing the business. And he makes it a priority to personally welcome his customers. “My door is always open. I meet and greet every person that walks in here,” he said. Although he’s been in Troy for more than 10 years, Don’s pride for his hometown is obvious. He wore a Louisiana State University shirt on the day of his iN75 interview, said he would paint the new place purple and gold

LeDoux’s new location at 118 W. Main St. in downtown Troy is still under construction. Owner Don LeDoux plans to reopen in November. if he put himself in charge of decorating (instead, his wife, Jenny, got that role) and spoke of going home to visit his family often. The restaurant, which has been open for two years, also reflects the south from its decor to its menu, and the new location will follow suit. “You’ll walk in and see more of a Louisiana theme, more Louisianastyle wall hangings, fixtures, paintings,” he said.

Right inside the front door where diners can sit by the big windows, the walls are painted a dark red brick color and a lighter yellow hue to brighten up the space. “We want to put some custom lighting over the bar and the dining room,” he said. More dining areas are available to the left of the main room, the former Bamboo Grill location. An alcove across from the long bar also will have ta-

bles and chairs. The downtown spot also has a private banquet room in back for corporate parties, presentations or other meetings. If you’re eating, you can reserve the room for free. Don and his staff have refinished the existing bar and have plans to spruce up the large outdoor patio. “We’re going to finish it off and really make it look like a New Orleans courtyard,” he said. But the decor isn’t the only thing Louisiana about this place. The menu is full of seafood and Cajun dishes, such as Don’s favorite, the seafood gumbo. With the move, Don is adding more lunch items that are quick to make and serve, along with more Cajun options. He said it is a miscon-

ception that Cajun food is so spicy it’s barely edible. LeDoux’s dishes are seasoned for flavor. He said you’ll feel the heat in your mouth, but it won’t be intense enough to choke you. Cajun first-timers are encouraged to ask for samples of anything on the menu before ordering. “It’s like shoes,” Don said. “You gotta try them on.” Still, if you’re taste buds aren’t quite brave enough, there is still reason to stop at LeDoux’s. Don said the pork chops are about 1 1/2 inch thick, and the steak options change every week. The menu also has chicken, pasta, seafood scampi and several vegetarian options, and more Midwestern style entrees are being added with the move to downtown. A kids’ menu and nightly specials also are popular at LeDoux’s. Live bands perform at the restaurant occasionally. The grand re-opening in the new spot is tentatively set for Nov. 11 with band Higgins and Madewell. Another positive that comes out of the relocation is an expanded staff. Don has openings for kitchen help, wait staff and more. “If anybody can play the saxophone, I’ve got a job for you,” he said. Once open, hours will be 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. for lunch and 4 to 9 p.m. for dinner on weekdays. On weekends, dinner will be served from 4 to 10 p.m. Visit www.ledouxsrestaurant.com or find LeDoux’s on Facebook.

Ben Gals to make an appearance in Troy

BY LINDY JURACK iN75 Editor TROY — Three Ben Gals cheerleaders, including Vania Brandt, of Bradford, will make an appearance at Buffalo Wild Wings in Troy on Friday. From 8:30 to 10:30 p.m. the girls will be selling their calendars, signing autographs and greeting fans of their squad and their team, the Cincinnati Bengals. This is the first time the Troy restaurant has hosted an event like this. Brandt’s parents brought the idea to host an event like this to Buffalo Wild Wings. “We’ve never had the Ben Gals cheerleaders up here before, so we are really excited,” said Darcy Bruns, assistant manager. During the evening, select appetizers will be available for $3 from 8 to close.

the sale of tickets will go to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Customers are encouraged to buy as many as they wish. Brandt is making her debut with the Cincinnati team this season after working hard at her goal for two years. She cheered through junior high and high school at Russia, but put her pompoms away to study circulation technology at Ohio State University. Once she was working as a profusionist at Good Samaritan Hospital in Cincinnati, she searched for something to fill up her free time. “I always wanted a hobby, but the only thing that made me happy was cheer and dance,” she said. “Going to dance classes didn’t fulfill that it was more about performance.” She went to Bengals game with a friend and watched the cheerleaders the whole time. “That’s what I wanted to do,” she said. With three rounds of cuts, tryouts were tough. Out of 100 girls only 32 become Ben Gals. To make the final cut, she had to perform a choreographed 1.5-minute

dance and do a bikini walk. “It was really stressful because there’s a lot of good girls trying out,” she said. The first year she tried out, she was cut in the final round. “I came back the next year more prepared and knowing what to expect. I was nervous but i did it,” she said. Brandt describes her first game day in uniform as overwhelming. “It was almost too much to take in. It brought tears to my eyes - stepping onto the field as a team,” she said. “I wanted to get to that point for two years and I

finally reached my goal.” Brandt’s new hobby is filling the void she once felt, as being a Ben Gal is very time consuming. The girls are required to have full time-job or be a fulltime student to even try out. Practice starts in June and increase throughout the summer, and game days last all day long. They also have to make a minimum of 15 public appearances throughout the season. Brandt and the other Ben Gals will be happy to share their experience with the fans they meet at Buffalo Wild Wings on Friday. “Come and support us,” she said.
