n 1983, Calgary entrepreneurs turned their appreciation for 16th century British peddlers into an Alberta institution. The Nut Man brought the charm of European snack vendors to Alberta offices with their version of the old peddlers’ trolleys loaded with sweet and savory snacks. The Nut Man quickly became more about building relationships than just nuts and candies. “It’s not about the transaction. It’s about the experience. When The Nut Man shows up, it’s a reason to stop what you’re doing and catch up with your agent,” says Jade Anderson, CEO of The Nut Man Co. “The company was built to sell nuts, snacks, candies and chocolates, and we have done all that, very well in fact for 40 years, but we are in the business of providing experience and building relationships.”
