In November of 1997, both the manufacturing and retail operations were moved to 22 Broadway into a completely refurbished bright new candy store. Windows and sliding doors were installed giving their customers access to watch the candy being made. This turned out to be an excellent move as groups were soon requesting the opportunity to come by for a demonstration and to watch the candy being prepared. Scout troops, elementary school classes, and tour-bus groups are among those now afforded the opportunity to witness the old art of hand making of home-made candies by local choclatiers. McFarland's state "Although a lot of places won't ship chocolates in the Summer or to higher temperature areas, we use a styrofoam packaging system, bubble wrap, and a reusable polar pack. Our candy is quality when it leaves - we want to be sure it's quality when it gets there."
While still catering to Frostburg, Cumberland, and the surrounding communities, McFarland Candies has expanded with candies now available at various locations throughout the tri-state area. Additionally, a rapidly growing portion of business is mail-order. With 24 hour access via a toll free number, fax number, and an Internet site, world-wide shipments are made daily.
