Who are we?
Rodney Carmona Jr created his own business inspired by his father.
You might know me as Junebug, owner of Junebug’s Wicked Candy. I wanna share a little bit about myself and how I created my own business. When I was 5 years old I would go to work with my dad who is now the owner of 805 Snacks. My work ethic was able to grow because I got the chance to work with him hand and hand. In the beginning of 2021 COVID-19 hit the world hard and the world was at a stop, while being in quarantine social media became bigger. I saw people making different snacks with so many different ingredients all over the world and I never thought to try and create my own. My parents encouraged me to explore and create my own candy since my family knows I love snacks! After my first batch I knew what I had created and the potential it had so I kept working on my recipe until I knew I perfected it. During this process I had now created Junebug’s Wicked Sauce. At this point I shared my candy with family and friends they helped by giving me feedback but mainly their support for my business. Once I had my families support I knew the possibilities were endless. I went on to experiment with different combinations. Once I had everything in line we went live with my very own candy line! Now it’s available in stores and online. I would have never gotten this far without the support from my family and friends.Thank you to everyone who has been supporting Junebug’s Wicked Candy all the way from my production team to my amazing customers. Stay WICKED everyone!
