Williams & Bennett

What Williams & Bennett does

Williams & Bennett is a privately held Florida-based manufacturer of quality chocolate products, founded in 1992 and headquartered in Boynton Beach with 1-10 employees. The firm operates in the specialty confectionery segment and is connected to the Oh!asis Tropical Candies brand (previously Anastasia Confections, founded 1984), which produces tropical-flavored coconut patties, Kettle Krunch cashew snacks, and Choc-O-Gator chocolate confections from a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Orlando, Florida. Oh!asis operates as part of Las Olas Confections & Snacks, with three registered brand identities (Oh!asis, Anastasia, Coconut Island) unified under a 2024 rebrand.

The business model is predominantly direct-to-consumer e-commerce through ohasis.com, with a free-shipping threshold at $50 to encourage larger basket sizes, plus a wholesale channel via the Las Olas Brands parent. Product pricing ranges from $5.99 (Kettle Krunch pouch) to $9.99 (coconut patty boxes) and $36.00 (bulk 12ct box), with a build-your-own Pick 10 & Save combo pack offering 25% off plus free shipping. Limited-edition SKUs (cocoa, espresso) and snack-size 100-calorie pouches extend the line into portion-control and seasonal consumption occasions, while gift packs target corporate and celebratory gifting. The product portfolio is anchored by an award-winning coconut patty recipe that the company claims is built on 40+ years of confectionery expertise.

Go-to-market is primarily organic social (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok) plus email newsletters and a Spotify-curated brand playlist. Customer segmentation is horizontal, targeting individual consumers for personal snacking, gifting, and tropical-themed occasions. No enterprise customer concentration, no disclosed revenue or headcount at the Oh!asis level, and no institutional investors are evidenced; the firm is wholly owned under the Las Olas Confections & Snacks umbrella.
