IT’SUGAR

Very unamused by the way I was treated today, from the moment I walked into the store tonight my friends and I were treated very poorly and it’s very unfortunate because the store has a great variety of candies and fun things.
As we walked in an employee standing by the door bumped into me, which I apologized for seeing as I was walking into the store and I must’ve been too busy looking at the assortment of items, proceeded to make eye contact, scoffed at me, and replied «whatever.» A few minutes in, as we were filling our bags with candy I had gone to the same employee and asked her if I could put back certain candy that I had already pulled out and poured into the bag, she replied it was fine if I used the scoop, as I began to do so she yelled from across the store that I was not allowed to put candy back and that she would send me out of the store if I tried to do so; how embarrassed I was!
People throughout the store began to watch me as I proceeded to walk to the cash register and pay for whatever I had because in all honesty I just wanted to get out. As I was leaving, the same employee was waiting for us at the door. She again scoffed at me, turns to my friends and says «you two have a nice night» (there were only three of us there.) Needless to say, the experience was awful and it’s unclear if I wish to return to this store. If I need candy, or fun gifts I suppose I’ll have to take my business to another store where the employees are welcoming and helpful.
0 stars for hospitality, 4 stars for variety.

I love It’Sugar! It’s so bright, fun and colorful. My inner child seriously loves this place. Where else can you find fun Hello Kitty, Minions, M&M related trinkets? This is the only place that fulfills my sweet tooth and sugar fix. Love it!

Store was bright and colorful, fun music, and the girl working there was very nice. Most of the candy is a little pricey, but nothing you wouldn’t expect from a candy store.
Secret is using their souvenir boxes. You fill it up with as much candy as you want for $ 15. Both my and my fiancée got 1.5 lbs each and spent $ 30.
$ 10/​lb, not too shabby. Plus, can’t forget the HUGE variety.

It’s very unique! They have a great selection of candy and most people are very friendly! My only compliant is that the prices are very expensive so you can’t get too much here!

The store is bright, colorful, cheerful and overall very inviting! The young gal working was extremely outgoing and friendly. She allowed my two year old to sample pretty much whatever she wanted. (Don’t worry, I used tongs and did it all, no gross sticky fingers went into the bins!) I love the concept of this shop, but the prices are outrageous and I likely won’t rerun because of that. We paid $ 24 for 1.3lb of candy and jelly beans. 1.3lb of sugar may seem like a lot, but it isn’t really.

Good variety of candy and other sweats! Very bright store with very loud music. The bulk candy is a little pricy. I filled up a little less than half of a sandwich bag with gummy bears and it was 8 $.

overpriced.

We were walking to the frozen yogurt store when the two nine-​year olds I was with spotted It’Sugar. Before I could think straight they were in this store with blasting music, useless junk, and way overpriced candy. Right away they grabbed some plastic bags and started putting candy into them. I finally told our granddaughter’s guest that she needed to stop and I would pay for her bag at that point, but anything more was on her. When I took this bag with some candy corn and a bit of rock candy to the register, it rang up to almost $ 8.00. I should have walked away. I warned the girls that the candy was priced ridiculously, but my granddaughter took her money and bought some more. We ended up with a big candy kiss and two bags of sugar crud for almost $ 24.00. The candy in the bins was $ 12.96 per pound. Never again. If you are looking for Marilyn Monroe mugs or huge wine glasses, this might be your place, but otherwise no way. I blame myself for not insisting we get some yogurt and skipping this place, but now I know.

From giant boxes of nerds to foot-​long gummi worms this place has it all! Well there’s lots of sugary things for the kids, there’s a surprising adult things. For example little chocolate with liquors, and edible candy Bras and edible candy G strings. That’s sweet!

We got an assortment of gummy candies as well as some plain rock candy. The rock candy was lovely and we were able to get more than enough for about $ 3. The gummy candies were nothing to be desired. While it was nice to be able to choose a few pieces of many varieties, the storage containers (combined with a very humid store) left the candy soggy (which is not even something I knew *could* happen to gummy candy.) Of the selections we made, most flavors were off. The Swedish Fish were distinctly the wrong flavor and gummy colas (both sour and non) had a dreadful aftertaste. Watermelon sour belts were edible, but Sour Patch Kids were not. The sour gummy worms (which we did not purchase) were so wet that the sour sugar had dissolved off them.
We have previously patronized the Atlantic City location and had an exponentially better experience there (⁵⁄₅ stars), so I’m not sure what the discrepancy is with this Rio location.

It’Sugar is over-​rated…
I mean, okay, yes, they are very unique, but I feel that the use their uniqueness to jack up their prices. I looked at Large Hershey bars yesterday and It’Sugar was selling one bar for $ 5.99. I went to Giant after work and got two bars (two would have had the thickness of one It’Sugar bar) for $ 3!
See what I mean?
I’ve been to It’s Sugar twice now, but have yet to purchase anything…

Saw this store on my way to Lily Magillies, my co worker and I couldn’t resist. The person working was pretty helpful and every time we asked for something he pointed it out for us. I asked if they had super sized Twizzlers, he said they had some and were 50% off. *GASP* how could I resist? It would be the perfect just-​because-​I-​can gift for my fiancée. I also threw in a box of pretzel M & M’s for myself. We will def be hitting this place up when we go to the moves and save us some cash. Also I have to throw it out there… they have more than just candy they have memorabilia stuff like TMNT cups (my son would love) and what not ALSO they have scented candles that smell like Hershey’s chocolate or Jolly Rancher. I’m not a big flowery candle person but who doesn’t love the smell of chocolate or cookies. *DROOL* I know I will be back here to get my nephew a gift for his birthday coming up… they offer gift certificates. What 13 year old wouldn’t love a gift like that?!

Great looking store. Everything is so bright and inviting. Except for the prices. Candy by the pound costs way too much. Pretty much anything in the store is more expensive than normal. Avoid if you’re looking to buy candy in bulk.

Man did they choose a great place to put this store! High school kids galore roaming Rio on a Friday and Saturday night! Pair that up with a sugar high from giant sized candy bars, and a dizzying array of candy — on top of their already giddy prepubescent teenage angst and you’ve got a match made in sugar heaven.
They have everything pop culture from My Little Pony and Hello Kitty which appeals to my 6 yr old, to Ted bears and Duck Dynasty dolls, giant candy bars, edible underwear, candy body paint, and giant candy necklackes galore.
I am NOT suggesting you bag a bag of candy and put it in your purse to take into the movie theatre… but I may or may not have done that myself.
:p
It’s a fun little store to check out. If you are like me and can’t commit to a single type of candy or flavor, opting instead to literally take one of everything, then this is the place to satisfy any sugar craving.
