That little room must hold so many emotional things for Steve. The countless hours spent in that room, churning out countless candies. You can see him look at it with nostalgia and perhaps some pride too. It is one hell of an accomplishment. He seems like such a nice guy. Its funny watching him. Every movement is purposeful No energy is expended without reason. Sort of reminds me of a sloth but in a good way. His son has done a great job of helping to get the name of their candy out to the world and turning it into a great family business. I wish nothing but the best for them all. They have worked very hard to get to this point. Good for them!

[@jasmineleopard7593]

I know we all thought we would miss the basement atmosphere and maybe some do, but honestly, seeing Steve crouch around down there and it being all empty, I don’t miss it. I’m glad you guys have more room and can stand up fully lol. I guess it was the family that made the atmosphere all along, not the stinkin basement 😭

[@byronmurphy1977]

👏👏👏👏

[@HerculesCandy]

We feel the same way, especially Steve 😂

[@MelissaThompson432]

I kinda hate when things change, but I have to agree; seeing y'all in the basement, it's better in the new place. But I also agree with Karen, the old shop was cute. You should make it a museum: the Hercules Candy museum. 😉😀

[@OneKindWord]

@@MelissaThompson432 Oh well. The little old original shop lives on in Craig's videos.

[@MelissaThompson432]

@@OneKindWord True. I guess I'll have to be satisfied....

I know Terry said this is a boring video in the beginning, but I saw the thumbnail and got genuinely excited

Me too

[@courtneywidener385]

I didn’t know how badly I wanted to see an empty basement

[@tracigodwin6302]

What I miss about the new store? 1. The Christmas movie watching and quoting in the basement. 2. Karen giving ribbon tying tutorial. “Pull it tight like your choking somebody.” 🤣🤣🤣

[@AP-lu8rv]

I feel the dad works so hard, he deserves so much

[@byronmurphy1977]

Short answer- Not much Long Answer- Noooottt muuuccch

[@pawlet]

Because you have Sunday off, you want a home office so you can do some work on the Sunday. 🤔 We need to teach momdre how to take a day off.... Put feet up, eat vegan chocolate.

[@martelvonc]

I caught that myself. LOL!

[@clinthuff9868]

Paulette Frantz yes lol

[@windchaser12]

Just eat chocolate anyway. No need to spoil it with vegan crap.

[@clinthuff9868]

@@windchaser12 chocolate is vegan for the most part. Especailly dark chocolate. Youre an idiot. Some peoplr actaully care about their health

[@fabfourfever674]

Julia Richards Terry and her family are vegan. Chocolate, itself, is vegan (unless it's milk chocolate). Dark chocolate is actually better for you due to the antioxidants.

[@jonathandpg6115]

Yeah I noticed lol. I found that funny

[@lizzyg1758]

its always amazing to me whenever I eat something made from hands. Seeing steve's face when he said he cant believe they made all that candy there made my heart leap. The journey is amazing, enjoy the ride, in trinidad we say " after one time, is two"

[@lxn_ni1814]

You can tell Steve is remembering everything in the old store and loved it

[@abbycossette128]

He definitely looked like he had memories going through his head, standing there in the basement.

[@benitakenney6436]

Yh i could see the emotion in his face ❤❤

[@donnaturnbull1190]

I can hardly believe that you carried on business in that small space.

[@eleo_b]

Donna Turnbull • to me, it always came across a little inefficient with a lot of walking up and down with heavy things. They really had their own system/method going on!

[@Ashley__Rose]

You guys being successful enough to have a “proper” candy shop and sales going up from KZbin success couldn’t have a happened to better people I swear. The most wholesome people. ❤️

[@sierrarose9433]

At first i was sad when you guys move to the new building, but you guys came so far you deserve better place. Took me a while to get use of it. When i literally watch you guys a year now. ♡ ill buy stuff when its not hot. You got us into ribbon candies!!!

[@thatgirlinokc3975]

Thanks for the tour and all the interviews! MAX dropped candy! Is there footage? Chopping up puddles is always cool. No one mentioned missing the front door squeaks. 🤣 ❤

[@michsimo7976]

we can't believe it either Steve! your family is amazing....happy to witness your leveling up! you guys deserve all the abundance you can handle :)

[@mandagdoublee2109]

I love watching the look on y'alls faces while looking at where you used to do everything. You can just see the memories passing by through the look on your face❤❤

[@AXia415]

Seeing the old shop makes me sentimental of the times when I was first starting to watch the Hercules videos. At the same time, it makes me proud of how far you guys have come and all the things you guys have done. Keep up the good work!

[@bulanvlogspot]

Yes, i was wondering that what happened on your old shop.. Now thank you for that boring tour house.. 😂😁..love it

[@paulawarwick2674]

Thank you SO MUCH for doing this video. It is amazing how everything fit into the old space, and it does seem smaller since it is empty. Loved seeing the basement....lot's of hours and enjoyable videos made there. Thanks again!

[@MissFunkyH]

Great video Craig. Your family is always super generous

[@mistyplascencia1076]

Seeing Steve turn the lights out was like watching your favorite episodes last show. BUT! Bittersweet because I get to watch you guys in action at your big fancy shop. You guys deserve the best ❤️ I've been watching for some time. May God continue to bless you all!!!

[@Uniquelyyours1]

It was fun seeing the old place again, Craig. Lots of variety in this one, I loved it. Thanks for the longer vidya:)

[@silvergypsylady]

I was wondering about the old shop thanks for the update. It's amazing how much was in that smaller space. This is a great video. It's interesting to see what goes on behind the scenes of making and packaging candy. 😊👍

[@cjtramm8]

I bet the house still smells good too. Watching Steve walking around bent over a little, makes you glad he can walk upright now.

[@hollyshively379]

I just absolutely love watching your vidias😅 it's so laid-back and informative at the same time!!!

[@kamiochambless2590]

I love these videos where you go around and see what everyone is up to! I love seeing all the different candy tasks happening at the same time.

[@MsMOLLYKINS]

Wow , nice to look back and just amazing to think how hard you all worked in a tight space . Nice to look back thanks Craig

[@mindyvaughn8217]

I so love seeing the old shop. It’s so great. You will have to show us the new house when you move. I will miss the house you have now. So many family dinners in that kitchen. I love that y’all used the basement to make candy. There is a certain romance to it. I agree with Karen about the closeness of how everything was. There was a cosy feeling about it. I loved watching y’all back in the beginning. Thanks for the tours Terry and Steve! Thank you Craig for all the hours of video.💖

[@mindyvaughn8217]

Karen you’re adorable!

[@melissabuxton7152]

I absolutely LOVE the family goodness in your videos! God bless u all🙏

[@TLHowie]

Wow!! unbelievable that you made all the candy in such a small space. Thank you for sharing, loved watching this. All the best, onwards and upwards :-)

[@charissejohnson2068]

Just ran across your videos. I am loving them. God bless.

[@toxicginger9936]

Aww, the little red bucket in the cabinet at 2:00 made it to the new place. My son grabbed it and filled it with candy when we were there this week. :) It's impressive how much he fit in there.

[@momof2n8993]

I've been watching for about a month now I think, now I binge watch, really enjoy the videos, and the banter, between the family,

[@joanneganon7157]

I can't believe you all crammed yourself in there, with all the volume you produced + produce. Can't wait to see the little elves spread out. Jo Jo in VT

[@B.McAllister]

11:47 It's a wholesome bittersweet moment to see Steve reminisce and realize he'll never make candy down there again.

[@chargoldsmith5651]

You all are such happy people, it shows in your work and all around.... 🤙

[@GeneralBurkhalter1]

For some reason, this episode came off as very somber in certain areas, especially with Mom/Dad/Karen. Max though, as always, turns the mood around!

[@abbycossette128]

I think sometimes somber is good. We all get sad at times, and the hercules crew is so human. That's why so many people have fallen in love with them. They tells it as they sees it.

[@lindal5303]

Watching this vid proves that anything can be done in the space available to you. Determination to do It, however, is a must have! I was also curious about the old place, thank you, good vid. Terry, I love cd's too!

[@89muffylab]

I love seeing how far you guys have come with your business. I remember 2 years ago I was watching the chocolate covered twizzlers video and became hooked instantly!

[@salenamarie8492]

Yay! Love you guys! Perfect thing to wake up too!!!!

[@mariannejohannessen9751]

Thank you sooo much you guys for showing the old place xxxxx Love you Family xxxx

[@robinclapsadle1868]

Its kind of bittersweet. So many great memories there but your on to bigger and better! So proud of the family business

[@MstresVampy]

Ty for the tour of the past n future combined. I loved the feel of the video lil nostalgia moments w lots of love mixed in.

[@kathyfromtexas8613]

Your son is so amazing ! You can really tell how much he admires you ❤️

[@rachelcookson3492]

Wow! I’ve been waiting forever to see what the old store and everything looks like.......it all looks soo tiny, even more than when everything was packed in there! Great vid and update, thank you! P.S. edit; I really miss Karen in vids, she’s in so few now & never choking like she used to.

[@tinapennington1587]

You’re family is amazing! The generations before would be so proud ❤️

[@edgarbowser5325]

Bitter sweet feeling seeing the old shop.

[@EnglishVirgo]

Thank you for this video. I know you guys say you don't know why we would want to see down there, but we saw so so much down there over the years and we grew accustomed to it and then when you guys moved, it was, at least to me, like when a good friend moves away and you wonder how they are. It's the same with the 'old' place for me. The fun times and energy in that building, I can feel it through the camera. I mean, look at all of the laughs and dad jokes and banter as the candy was made. Hearing you all chat about old times and memories as the goodies were made, made us feel involved in something. So I personally have warm feelings for that old place. The new place is awesome too, but the energy is different. Much love for that basement and store area. I appreciate the look-see.xx

[@GreenEyes3612]

Awww that was humble beginnings 💞☺️ love it!! I'm Soo happy for your family and friends 😊

[@carmencantwell1249]

Wow. I was looking forward to this video because I was nostalgic for the old shop. Now I see all the specialness was Terry and Steve and they took the specialness with them!

[@JovemEverton]

Guys, be proud, genuinely proud. You have certainly made progress. To lay down your heads at night and think about how far your hard work and companionship took you, It must be satisfying. Kind regards to you all.

[@bleedingouttheflaws6755]

This really makes it easy to appreciate how much hard work has gone into the business. Both in making the old space work and building the business enough to grow into the new building.

[@martymakeupartist]

Such a great video, glad you all were able to expand 🙂

[@TheOzflyer]

Its really cool to look back at where it all started, all that candy you guys made there, thanks for the tour of the old place, it was interesting to see it all 👍

[@just_lil_g]

What a great way to start the day! Thanks for the tour of the old place.

[@marcireale]

It looks so weird/sad ☹️ to see the old shop. Loved watching the evening cleanup.

[@shebeesstitchyworld]

Sad seeing it all so empty. Happy you guys have the new place, more professional, so much bigger and no more ducking. Lots of cleaning still needs to be done in old place.

[@markdoherty3718]

Bitter sweet to see the old, I go by my old farm and wonder how I ever did anything there, so small.

[@jsjh98]

So cool seeing the before place, the new place looks so FANSTATIC 😊😊😊

[@mandycoleman1394]

Always a pleasure ! Never a chore ! Love you guys ! X

That was sad, but amazing to see. Guitar and amp tour please, then beer making too :)

[@marianhoblyn1901]

Love the candy making video's, but I think this one just became my favourite.

When the 1st Hercules video showed up in my recommendation s I was intrigued by the mom.and pop feel.of it. That was a few months before the move and I've since been a loyal subscriber , made two orders and made plans to come visit when time and money allow.

Thanks for subscribing Justin and thanks for sticking around, and I hope we get to meet you this summer!

Oh! super video Craig, those rooms look soooo small now, makes me think of one of those springs in a can, open a door and all the candy flies out!

[@suemurray3189]

Wow you guys are just awesome. I love your videos. Terri you are just amazing. Steve is so perfect when he fills the molds. Max is great too. Craigs is an awesome videographer.

[@traciw.6044]

Its too bad there isn't room for a small kitchen at the new place, it was really fun watching the family and friends hanging out cooking and eating together.

[@paulawarwick2674]

THANK YOU for posting this video! You truly do read the comments :) I was so curious as to how it looked after the bulk of the items had been moved. I would LOVE to see a contest letting one of your viewers come back and spend a day making candy with the candy maker of their choice. I am sure that Max would be the popular option with the single ladies, personally I would pick your Dad due to the dry humor. Contestants would have to be able to get themselves to Hercules Candy at their own expense, but any die hard follower would be willing to do that. It would be hysterical to watch. Love you guys....you are the bomb.
