Snow! It’s here! Anoka is covered right now and, suddenly, we’re feeling a tad bit Christmas-like around the candy shop. We had such a gorgeous Fall this year–complaining about the snow now, seems silly. We’re choosing to just stay thankful for all we were gifted with this past Autumn, instead. :) Main Floral, next door, is swimming […]
You guys! We just saw the report in USA Today detailing America’s Halloween time spending and we’re shocked! I mean, sure, we’re a little store, in a little town–and, we’re a little old (just kiddin’; kinda)–but, this year, the average amount that each American shopper will spend is 82.93–and that just seems crazy to us. Add […]
It’s June; welcome to National Candy Month! (Yeah, they have days, and months, for all kinds of random things–this though, well, this is one of the most important of all the random things, months. At least, in our opinion. :) ) The question that we had about this though, was why? Why is June, National […]
Hello! It seems like a while since we’ve written one of these blogs–we’ve been busy writing about other stuff though. (Like candy heart crafts and the history of Valentine’s Day. :) ) But, today, we thought we should share with you a few of the candies that have graced our shelves lately–especially since we just […]
We have had lots of [organized] people in here stocking up on the stocking stuffers lately! (The rest are like us…they’ll be in next week. :) ) We have a store FULL of retro, and nostalgic, candy that makes candy fun–just like it used to be. SO…we went around last week and thought…’hmmm, if we […]
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 […]
Hey, Labor Day; we meet again! Got road trip plans? If you do–stop in before you leave for some treats to make the drive a bit more fun for everyone. (Treating yourself to a candy bar can make the backseat chatter seem a lot less annoying :) ) Plus, we have a bunch of new […]
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, […]
