The Motor City nearly lost Sanders in the mid-1980s, but its desserts shops have begun resurfacing, thanks to another Detroit institution, Morley Brands LLC, which bought the Sanders brand..
Business grew steadily, and by the early 1900s, he had opened other shops along Woodward and elsewhere in Detroit.

The Sanders story began in Chicago, where Fred Sanders opened his first shop.
At its peak, the company boasted more than 50 stores, with its products available in as many as 200 supermarkets.

The venerable confectioner was once as much a part of Detroit\'s streetscape as the Big Three, Hudson\'s, and Coney Islands.
