AUGUST 2010
On August 19, 2010 Ohio State University President Gordon Gee stopped by the Main Store
during his 2010 Summer Tour. President Gee took a tour of the facility, sampled our chocolate
covered pretzels, which he called "unbelievable", and spoke with many of the 200+ guests that
were in attendance. President Gee was accompanied by Brutus the Buckeye and bus of spirit
students. Several fans had their picture taken or received an autograph from one of our
special guests. President Gee commented upon his arrival that Dietsch Brothers was one of
the stops on his tour that he had been looking forward to for months since he has such a sweet
tooth. To see the entire photo album from the event please check out the OSU President Gee
and Brutus the Buckeye's Visit photos on Facebook or watch a short video of President Gee's
Visit on YouTube, courtesy of the Findlay Courier newspaper.
OCTOBER 2009
Dietsch Brothers signed up to be a supporter of the 3/50 Project. The
3/50 Project supports independent, locally owned businesses by inspiring
consumer loyalty to the storefronts that directly fund their communities. The
concept is simple: Think of three businesses you'd miss if they went away.
Stop in. Say hello. Pick up a little something that makes you smile. That's
what keeps them around, after all. Pick 3 local businesses, spend $50 a
month between the three stores. Save your local economy. For more
information, please visit the 3/50 Project website.

project has been in the works for several months but the launch was postponed due to flooding
in the fall and the busy holiday season that followed soon after. We are thrilled to have an
avenue for current and former Findlay residents to shop at as well as a way to introduce our
fine chocolates to people around the world.

Dietsch Brothers Gives Thanks For Seventy Years In Business
On November 8th we celebrated our 70th anniversary by giving back to the Findlay community.
First, we wanted to thank the American Red Cross for all their flood relief efforts so we
DONATED 10% OF ALL SALES FROM BOTH STORE LOCATIONS ON THURSDAY,
NOVEMBER 8TH TO THE LOCAL RED CROSS CHAPTER. We were happy to reach our sales
goal for the day and were able to make a generous donation to the local Red Cross. Second,
we wanted to thank our loyal customers so we held drawings at both our store locations and
gave away $100 gift baskets and certificates for a year's worth of ice cream along with candy
samples to all customers who came in that day.
AUGUST 2007
On August 21 & 22, 2007 the Findlay area suffered its worst flooding in nearly 100 years.
While neither of our stores lie in the flood plain, this disaster was so widespread that it caused
major damage at both store locations. The East Store was impacted less than the Main Store
and was able to re-open about two and half weeks after suffering flash flood damage
throughout the store. The Main Store had an entire basement full of equipment ....and full of
water. There also was 13" of flood water throughout the main floor of the building. Here are a
couple photos of the Main Store flooding:
