Re: The Swiss Colony: do you order from them?

@FiddleDeeDee Years ago my parents ordered cheese tray gifts from their catalog for customers they dealt with.  Their gifts were always well received, enjoy if you order.  I have not seen one of their catalogs in years.

It may have been another company.......Did they have samples of cheese, etc.

 

Maybe I'm thinking of another similar popular company.

Just received their catalog. I remember their store in our local mall when I was a child. Wonderful stuff. 

 

I have never ordered from their catalog and don't know anyone who does. Do you? Have you? Looking for "reviews", lol, and seeing if I should order a few of their items.

 

Thank you!!

You might want to visit TrustPilot dot com and see what The Swiss Colony customers say about their experiences with that place.  TrustPilot is a website which give people info about websites, products and reviews. It will also let you know if a website is a scam. For me it's a valuable site for when I know nothing about any particular website.

I've ordered in the past and found the quality to be very good and I like their selections! I wouldn't hesitate. I know they have been around "forever".

My husband and I used to order from the every year many, many years ago.  Their products were very good then.  Like someone said, their petit fours were excellent.  Their cheese was very good, too.

I think you might be thinking of Hickory Farms.  We had one in our mall, too.

I worked in a Swiss Colony store in a mall when I was 16 years old.  Loved the holiday season with customers having us mail gift boxes and constructing cheese/sausage trays.  The Beef Log was very tasty, and the petit fours and Dobosh torte were just decadent.


deepwaterdotter, I forgot about the outlet store in West Towne Mall where we went now & then because it closed a long time ago. I heard that the rent was too $$$$.  My hometown has an outlet store, but it shut down 20 months ago because of Covid 19.  I did hear that it's supposed to open in the new year.
