Diamond Head Taffy LLC | Application Preview
Diamond Head Taffy LLC is seeking government grants to fund the expansion of their product line by purchasing two freeze-drying machines and sealing equipment, totaling $3,000 each. The business, established nearly a decade ago, has grown from offering only saltwater taffy to a diverse range of four product categories, including gummies and macadamia treats.
With renovations planned at their primary market location, Aloha Stadium, Diamond Head Taffy aims to diversify its sales channels by venturing into online and wholesale markets. The company highlights the impact of inflation on the food industry, expressing the urgent need for funding to broaden their market reach.

We have been steadily expanding our products since inception. We've started with saltwater taffy only and now have 4 different products areas, including gummy, macadamias and now freezed dried confections. We are a small business that has been operations for almost 10 years. Primarily out market is at the aloha stadium but they will be renovating soon so we would like to expand into different arenas: online, wholesale. Inflation has taken its toll on many food businesses and the snack industry is not immune. We would use this funding to expand our reach further beyond our smaller market.
