Gurleys Foods was built in 1953 by Andy Goedert in the small rural town of Willmar, Minnesota. He built the bakery to produce cookies for the Archway Cookie Company. By 1964, Andy, knowing that he would need to diversify, found a small, highly reputable nut roasting company in St. Paul called Gurleys. He bought the company and started producing Gurleys nut products there and Gurleys cookies in Willmar. In 1966, Archway, just as Andy had predicted, built their own bakeries. If it werent for his instincts, we would be gone today.
Over the years, Andys customers grew accustomed to his high quality products but they couldnt get them anywhere outside of Minnesota. Eventually this led to the distribution of our products to grocery and convenience stores nationwide.
