The Salt Water Taffy boxes are also a classic, but are also definitely overpriced far past their worth. Every time I have gone to the store, all the employees have been very kind. The service is always pretty fast even at times when the store...

They have cute benches and chairs in front to sit and relax as well as jumbo chairs closer to the highway. When you walk in it’s a candy wonderland. All different types of candies! Some candies I remember from my childhood and new kinds I haven’t seen before. Fresh fudge and all different types of chocolate covered fun. The salted caramels being my favorite!
