| - According to the owner, there's the main location on Las Vegas Blvd. Other than that, this is the other location at 707 Fremont inside Container Park. There's printed flyers for advertising this location everywhere, so we decided to check it out!
This place is TINY. It's got a cute candy store vibe. It feels crowded in there pretty easily. My boyfriend and I easily felt a bit cramped walking around like most stores at Container Park. Wished they could have maybe fused together two containers instead for some wiggle room. But it has a simple design and gives those stores with smaller inventory a chance.
They've got chocolate bars you won't find at the grocery stores. Old Faithfuls, Idaho Spuds, Slo Pokes, Goo Goo Clusters, Black Cows, and Sky Bars. Feels 50s in here. They're all in glass containers but without the 50-cent prices. There's also some bulk candies for sale like sour gummy worms and other wrapped candies. You grab a bag, fill it with what bulk candy you like, and weigh it for a price. I applaud them for getting candies and chocolates that I haven't seen before.
I bought a bar of Idaho Spud, Sky Bar, and Lucky Lights Candy (the sugar cigarettes from your childhood). Total came down to $5.49. Dang. Pricey for only a few things but it's retro sweets you can't find elsewhere in town. Each bar of chocolate was around $2.25-ish. I'm a sucker for that graphic packaging.
Kids would love it here. Super small space to move around in. The guy working in here was cool. Super friendly and helpful. There's a good selection of chocolates, candy--familiar and nostalgic alike. Worth a stop. Take your kids to a real, local candy stop and come by here!
