Yesterday I was at Snyder’s talking with my former colleague Tom Jordon when he told me that on Friday, November 12, he is retiring after 41 years. If you’ve ever called Snyder’s to place an order or ask for technical help, you likely talked to Tom. Always patient and professional and a wealth of knowledge. Tom says it’s time to pursue this Grandpa thing full-time. We will all miss him.

If you would like to send Tom a note, his e-mail is [email protected]

Did he sell the business or just shutting it down ?

I thinks Snyder's is now in it's 3rd generation with Don Snyder III at the helm but businesses like this don't always advertise their ownership on line. They've been in business such a long time that I'm sure more than a few of their employees have retired over the years.

My mistake. Was pointed out to me the business will remain active.
