MINNESOTA'S LARGEST
CANDY STORE
G'day folks,
Lick your lips. This bright yellow
building is packed with sweet treats from all around the world, from
chocolate-covered crickets to whoopie pies.
Across the highway from Jim’s Apple Farm in southern Minnesota’s
Scott County is a sprawling bright yellow retail store. The golden dome
at one end can be seen from miles up the road like a sunrise on the
horizon.
This seasonal, family-owned business has been operating here nearly
40 years. From mid-May to November, visitors can find local, regional,
and imported sweets and treats of all kinds: candied fruits, chocolate
bars, fresh baked goods, frozen items, gummies, jelly beans, sodas of
every flavor (including Moxie, Cheerwine, and Faygo’s Rock N’ Rye), and even a few toys.
While you shop, you can also admire the ceilings painted in a wild,
whimsical dreamscape of food and pop culture impressions. Don’t forget
to read the oversized billboard on the way out of the gravel parking
lot: It’s usually posted with some quippy pun or sarcastic reflection on
the times.
Clancy's comment: A haven for all of you with a sweet tooth.
