Sanders is a small-to-mid-sized confectionery brand located in Clinton Township, Michigan, operating as a division of Kar's Nuts since 2018. The business traces its origins to 1875, when Fred Sanders Schmidt opened a chocolate shoppe in Detroit, and it emphasizes premium confections made with real ingredients at fair value. Its catalog includes notable items such as Bumpy Cake, hot fudge toppings, Pecan Torties, and sea salt caramels, sold through leading retailers nationwide and online. The company also operates nine Sanders Chocolate & Ice Cream Shoppes in Michigan, reflecting a multi-channel approach. In 2020, Sanders announced closures of offices in Detroit and several stores in metro Detroit as part of a new retail strategy responding to shifts in consumer demand during the COVID-19 crisis.
