June 20, 1992:
Pet Inc. will sell its Whitman's Chocolate business because it does not fit with Pet's focus on grocery-store items and frozen foods. Whitman's, with annual sales of about $85 million, has been "modestly profitable," despite a dip in the last six months, a spokeswoman said. Whitman's, based in Philadelphia, produces boxed chocolates, Valentine and Easter confections, and related items for sale nationwide, mostly through chain drugstores and mass merchandisers.
1854 -- The first packaged box of Whitman's chocolate debuts.

The factory has since closed and been demolished, with a shopping center now occupying the site.
