"We’re a locally-owned candy shop born in Pittsburgh, PA. No matter what location you visit, we want you to feel like you’re part of our candy community, and in turn, we love being involved in each unique neighborhood we’re located in. Our passionate and knowledgeable staff is comprised of candy experts/historians/lovers who are sure to lead you to your sweet spot."



They are home to a $5 candy buffet. "IF THE LID CLOSES, IT’S ONLY $5.00! WE DON’T CARE HOW MUCH IT WEIGHS OR WHAT YOU CRAM IN THERE Let’s be honest… Buying candy by the pound is the worst. No matter how careful you are, you end up spending WAY more than you meant to. With our $5 box, the only surprise is how much candy you’re able to get into that box! With over 100 candies to choose from, it’s no surprise that our World Famous $5 Candy Buffet is our most popular attraction."



The bulk candy is unreal. "Whether you’re filling a candy dish at home, in the office, or throwing the biggest shindig in town, we’ve got you covered! Each location has a vast selection, sure to make you smile and stock you up. Need a pound of grandma’s favorite Bit-O-Honey? Or a 5lb bag of Haribo Cherries because you love them so much? You can even buy an entire 30lb case or pallet of your favorites. No matter how big your sweet tooth is, we will satisfy it!"



Plus, tons of hard-to-find candies from years past. "We know what it feels like to walk in and say, “I haven’t seen those since I was a kid,” and, “I feel like a kid in a candy store.” Yes, we have heard that a few times. Our staff is well versed in all the lingo and nicknames for those candies that you can only describe. If they are still being made, we are sure to have them."



"We have the best selection in town for those hard-to-buy-for friends and family members. From socks to mugs, magnets to hand sanitizer, even hilarious gag gifts sure to push the envelope. Need a Horse-Head Squirrel Feeder? Maybe a dish towel that says “Rock out with your crock out”? Are you a collector looking for the new release Funko POP figurine? Not to mention toys for all ages, pop culture, and those hot, trending items that everyone wants. Let us be your one-stop-shop for all of your gifting needs."



"From national bestsellers to regional favorites, our selection is sure to overwhelm, as each store has roughly 250 different soda favorites stacked floor to ceiling. Don’t worry if you can’t decide, we offer a six-pack of buy 5, get the 6th for free. Take an assortment of your favorites home, or try something new. Looking for that regional soda you can only find back at home, ask about purchasing a case. Nearly all of our sodas are produced with real, pure cane sugar."



I picked out an assortment of candy bars I had never heard of before.



They also has ice cream available.



And, there are even fancier chocolates in the case at the register.



It's a little wacky, but it's also fun and interesting.
