LIVONIA, MI-Nearly a decade after Sanders confections left Detroit-area shelves, another candy maker has sought to revive its sales. Morley Candy has opened its first Sanders outlet at Laurel Park Place mall, and is looking to expand, company officials say.

The 1,100-sf store sells ice cream, bumpy cakes, hot fudge cream puffs and sundaes, along with boxed and bulk chocolates, all bearing the Sanders name. Morley bought the Sanders brand in July 2002 and sells the company’s chocolates and toppings in a variety of retail outlets and online.

Fred Sanders opened his first shop in 1875 in Detroit and the chain grew to almost 60 stores. It encountered financial difficulties, and was sold to a Connecticut bakery. The last stores with the Sanders name disappeared in 1996.
