Good for them. I love this place.

I love this freaking store. More power to them.

I'm all for raining on people's parades but that seems like a stretch

OMG I love that place. Candy legos are a strange type of culinary perfection that is difficult to describe to outsiders. My teeth start to slightly ache just thinking about them.

Unfortunately I dislike sweets.

Always love hearing good news for a local business

So maybe don't go there. Nobody is forcing you.

Oh man, I was so worried that this place wasn't going to survive COVID. Glad to hear they're thriving.

Like other commenters, I also love this place. However, it definitely lost a lot of its magic when it started catering to the tourist crowd.

Thirty years ago, you could get cheap bulk candy here. I once needed a very large amount of Runts - they had a 25lb bag. 5lb Hershey bar brick, they had you. They had bulk dried fruit, halvah, Turkish delight, chocolate fruit cordials. All of that is gone to make room for more novelties like "Bitch Pills".

That said, they haven't ditched the collection of antique games and toys, and the current owner has the same distinct voice his father did, so still top tier nostalgia.

I was scared until I got to "expanding." So many places have been closing.

Nobody cares

> Thirty years ago

Cmon, cut them some slack. They’re an amazing, local business — like everyone else, they depend somewhat on tourist traffic.

Thought this was Ray’s Candy Store at first

Oh, we'll cancel their expansion then. Keep us updated on your other preferences moving forward.
