Great selection of anything sweet. I love the Howard’s violet flavored mints, they have the make your own candy kits from Japan. They also have any type of sweet sodas in glass cans and tons of gift items, European and Asian candy. I love going in so much to look at.

My kids would definitely give this place five stars, so I guess I have to as well. It’s nice to have a funky ‘old fashioned’ candy store, where you can buy bizarre flavors of kit kats(green tea or apple pie, anyone?) It you have a toddler in tow, watch out for the M&M dispensers. They’re easily accessible and little hands can pull the handles, pouring candy everywhere.

Takes me back to my childhood, the candy I loved as a kid, the toys I use to play with at Grandmas house. So much fun!!!

We love this place! The owners are super friendly and knowledgable. I told the lady I like licorice, and she showed me all the types they carry and let me sample each one. I was very impressed by that, as I’ve had many experiences lately where the employee acts like helping you is an intrusion on their time. Their selection is excellent, and they have a lot of foreign candy, which is fun to look through. Definitely a five star establishment!

I stopped in here with some friends a few days ago, and I was pleasantly surprised to find an adorable candy shop in Salem. It seems like downtown Salem has gotten a little run-down or sketch over the years, but this is a fun little store. They have sodas in glass bottles galore, colorful candies in dispensers, and the normal candy bars. They even have a section on foreign candy. My friend got a Cadbury bar from the UK, and I got some Japanese chocolate. I talked with the owner, and he said they were currently trying to procure some German and Australian candy — after that they’re going to move on to Russian candy. Definitely check this place out if you’re wandering the mall nearby or if you’ve just gotten turned around in the one-way grid that is downtown Salem.

This is a fairly new store. They have all kinds of candy from years ago that you thought didn’t exist anymore. We even found candy and bubble gum cigarettes! The store is nice and clean and there is bulk candy of all kinds on the walls from jelly beans to m&m’s, to licorice, to hard candy. Pretty much if you want it, they probably have it. And they have lots of novelty candy sizes like half pound peppermint patties and 10 lb gummy bears and rice krispy treats the size of a baking sheet. I like this place, although it’s a bit expensive for me but it’s probably pretty similar to your local mini mart on normal candy bar prices.

I walked in one day intending to just window shop(I don’t have much of a sweet tooth), and I ended up walking out with a bag full of candies and two packaged ones. What the heck happened?! I was spell bound by this retro candy wonderland. For starters, their«Ricky’s» sign, spelled out in large bright bulbs along the far wall, calls you in from the sidewalk. Different types of candies from all over, many I’d never heard of, candies I hadn’t seen since I was a kid, candies from outside of the U. S, all wrapped up in shiny brightly colored packages. Gummy candies have evolved a bit since I last stepped into a candy store. I added to my loot gummy vampire teeth, gummy moustache, gummy snails, and gummy brains, which thoroughly impressed my 3 year old nephew. And check out the leg lamp in the window! Just like the one from«A Christmas Story.»

This place is amazing! I am so happy all those months waiting for the construction to be over, has finally come to an end and has revealed this super fun candy land! The selection of candy is wild, what DONT they have. Though not suited for someone with braces, like myself, there’s still something for everyone in there! However, despite the amazing selection, and crazy good prices… You cannot beat that customer service! The owners are the sweetest people ever,(hence why they own a candy shop) they are so nice and can hold a conversation as if we were friends and went way back. If you’re looking for great candy, cool gadgets, locally owned, and amazing customer service… This is the place for you! Check out the cool candy baskets and displays the wife makes. SOCOOL.

Nice looking store. Everything pops with color and fun. The store carries lots of vintage candies and sodas we remember from our childhood. They also have old windup toys and other vintage toys. Lots of candy selection all along the store. Cool place!
