Nifty Nut House will expand its operation on North St. Francis in 2008, starting with a new Internet site and continuing with facilities expansion that should be complete in a year. Owner Steve Jahn has finalized plans for a larger retail store and manufacturing facility at the current 537 N. St. Francis location, with completion planned before the 2008 Christmas season. He has purchased land and a vacant building on the south side of the St. Francis lot for future expansion, including parking. Jahn is trying to plan for the next decade for his nuts and candy business, which has a 10 to 15 percent annual sales growth. "People only remember mistakes, so I've been fairly cautious with our growth," he said.
