Mercer Island High School alumnus Ben London hopes to sweeten the lives of candy lovers — both particular and adventurous everywhere.

Founded last year, Candy Jar is a new way to discover and shop for candy online.

The tech-meets-candy company offers customers a unique experience in purchasing candy online. Customers choose a jar size: small, medium and large. Jars are recyclable PET Plastic. Candy shoppers fill their jars with handful-sized servings of over 700 different types of candy delivered straight to their door anywhere in the U.S. within a week or less.

But there is more.

“Our goals include helping local charities and mom and pop candies get exposure to a big market,” London said.
