They lived in the back of the store for
seven years. While Jean rented rooms
in the hotel and operated the gift shop,
Bud worked two jobs: selling cars at
a local Ford dealership and selling
furnaces for an oil distributor.
A few years after they opened the gift
shop, the Ter Hars added clothing to
their inventory, and soon they became
a clothing store.
Because the apartment was, according
to Bud “too valuable a space to be

Besides their financial investment in
Clatsop County, however, the Ter Hars
also invest their time in the community.
They often can be seen supporting
athletic teams and other student orga-
nizations in the Seaside schools. Bud,
Peter and Jeff have had associations
with the Seaside Downtown Devel-
opment Association and The Seaside
Chamber of Commerce (all three had a
turn as Chamber President).
With the business Jean, Jeff & Pavi are
able to work and contribute with the
Assistance League Columbia Pacific to
help clothe children in the county. Pavi
is an active member in Assistance
League.
“It’s important not only for us to let
our customers have a good shopping
experience, but we’re also like a mini
chamber of commerce,” Jeff said.
“People need to know we have an
aquarium, a two-mile Prom and where
to get seafood.”
We’ve appreciated all of our employees

Sweetly Celebrating 54 Years!
On April 1, 1963 the doors to Bruce’s Candy Kitchen
opened and Treva & Bruce Haskell entered the candy busi-
ness. With our trademark pink & white exterior stripes, a few
candy recipes and lots of love they set out on what would
become a 5th generation owned and operated family busi-
ness. Over the last 54 years our family has greatly enjoyed
serving our homemade treats to generations of visitors to
Cannon Beach. In 2011, we expanded our business to the
Seaside Outlet Mall, so the communities of Cannon Beach
and Seaside could both enjoy the wonderful treats we offer.
We take great pride in producing the freshest and tasti-
est salt water taffy, hand dipped chocolates, caramel corn,
peanut brittle & more to our loyal customers and fi rst time
visitors. We love that something as simple as a piece of taffy
can become a life long memory for many of our customers,
as generations of families enjoy our sweets. We are honored
to be making sweet memories since 1963 and look forward
to making many, many more!
We make it fresh and we make it great!
