Wow! This little candy store just witnessed some big crowds due to all the Anoka Halloween festivities. Races, parades, contests, concerts and so much family fun happened this past weekend. If you stopped in to visit us, thank you! We love meeting new people and getting to know you in person. Sure, we have Facebook […]
Welcome to Halloween Blog Number Two in our Halloween Bloggin’ Series! Like we said before, Anoka is the Halloween Capital of the World, and we’re Anoka’s favorite candy store; so, we take our duty to bring you the best of Halloween, and candy, very seriously. Our last blog was all about the fudge–today’s is brought […]
Happy mid-July! Today, we thought we’d share a little of what we’ve been hearing around the shop recently. With kids on summer vacation, road trippin’ families, and downtown Anoka festivals, we’ve been hearing a lot of random conversations, had a ton of new customers, and a bunch of different questions, and comments, lately. We’re taking […]
Summer time just screams road trip, doesn’t it? Twizzlers, nuts, jelly beans, candy bars, chocolate rocks, lemon drops, mint melties, taffy…what’s your favorite road trippin’ treat!? (We’re partial to licorice and Jelly Belly’s. :) ) Whether it’s a two hour trip to the cabin, or a twelve hour trip cross country, candy just makes it […]
We thought we’d have a little chocolate coin fun with today’s blog! We had an Anoka mom in the candy store the other day asking if we could order, for her, the coins in bulk; she needed them for her child’s upcoming, Jake and the Never Land Pirates birthday party. (She was debating between that, […]
We just noticed our sister store, Main Floral, starting to prep all their flower stuff for Father’s Day, Graduation, and all those summer parties that you either host, or are invited to–and we decided it was time to do the same! (They’re such a good example for us. :) ) It’s time to SUMMER UP here […]
We were just next door, chatting with our friends in our favorite flower shop about how busy they get with delivery during Mother’s Day week and how they’re already getting ready for it all. It was in this conversation that we realized that Mother’s Day is in just over a week, holy cow. (Does it […]
Guess what!? We’re working on a new, super fun, candy idea for you! It’s going to be boxy and yummy and just in time for summer birthday presents, baby shower gifts, and just any celebration, in general–but, that’s all we’re going to say. How vague was that!? It’s like when someone posts on Facebook, ‘OMG! […]
Somehow, this year, the kids in the Anoka-Hennepin School District lucked out with an beautiful Spring break! The weather actually feels like Spring out there. :) (That didn’t seem to happen often when break was earlier in the year.) I always think it’s funny how excited they are about getting out of school–but, by the […]
The calendar, and the weather guys, all keep tellin’ us it’s Spring–but, up here, in Anoka, Minnesota–it feels a bit more winter-like lately. We had some snow this past weekend (though the South Metro got much more than us folks up here in the Northwest chunk of the Twin Cities), and we have some snowy/rainy […]
