Ducks In The Window

Damn a store chock full of ducks! They have it all, a candy wall and toys, super fun.
On our visit to Chatham we saw the ducks in the Windows and had to find parking, luckily there’s a huge lot right behind the store.
As you walk around the ally corner you can’t help but feel a tingle of childish excitement staring at all those massive ducks which are staring right back at you!
The proprietor (new as of this past holiday season) is warm and welcoming and will cheerily see to your every duck related need!
While we waited for our embroidered duck we had a nosh on some of our favorite classic candies!
Can’t wait to come back to Chatham so we can pick up a partner duck!

5 star candy and toy store. Lots of high quality, yummy candy mixed with toys and ducks. You can even decorate your own rubber duck. Wonderful, cute little fun store. Great chocolates and candy. Cute little young kid was manning the cash register. Very bright and happy store. It makes you happy just to walk into the store. It is right on main street in Chatham. Stop by.

The cashier wouldn’t even get off her cell phone long enough to greet me or thank me for the purchase.

When I first visited this store I was prepared to give it 5 stars. Cute merchandise, ducks with every kind of theme/​costume you could imagine, and a pretty decent candy selection. I told my mother about the store and she went and bought a selection of ducks, small, medium and large, for my baby shower. A few weeks later we realized we didn’t need quite as many ducks as she had purchased, and decided to return some of them. She specifically asked when the bought them if they were returnable and was told they were. I went to the store trying to return some of the ducks, and the owner at first said «we don’t take returns». I said, «Excuse me, but when we purchased them we asked if they were returnable and were told they were». She looked in the bag and saw, under the two large ducks, some smaller ones. «You’re returning ALL of these? We’re a small business, we can’t take all of this». I said, «I’m sorry, but why would you tell us we could return the merchandise if that’s not the case?» She then asked how long ago we made the purchase, and at this point it had been just over 3 weeks. I said almost a month. «A MONTH???» she asked loudly. Then she threw the ducks back into the bag and said «No, I’m not taking these back. Its been too long, I’m not taking them back». No apology, no contriteness, and the rudest tone and facial expression ever. I am always trying to support mom and pop stores over the big corporate guys, but when they choose to treat customers like crap simply because they can, it makes you wonder if you’re better off with corporate standards for customer service. I refuse to ever give this woman a cent of my money ever again. She could have been a lot nicer about it, and I was even willing to only return some of what I was attempting to, but she still refused. These ducks can be purchased online or at Target for about a third of the price, and as for the candy, there are several WAY better candy stores less than a block away.

I’m not sure why rubber duckie’s are popular but this shop does have a lot of ducks to choose from, in all manner of styles. Bunch of candy and kids toys interspersed as well.

A perfect toy & candy store on Main Street in historic Chatham. Our kids were crushed when we couldn’t find them at their prior location, but they’re across from the park with the bandstand. Look for the ducks in the window! Toys for all ages including Legos, retro toys (and retro candy), and LOTS of rubber ducks. Worth a trip — we make many.
