Ricardo’s Kandy Korner-Granville — Local services in Vancouver

The gourmet and specialty candy game continues with Ricardo's here on Granville. It seems like everyone wants a piece of the action and that's okay, I think there is enough to go around. Dank Mart has the things that they specialize in and other stores, theirs.

Honestly, I was living my best sugar life in there.🍭🍭🍭🍬🍬 I always forgot to mention the varieties of Dr Pepper. It was awesome.. I bought a cute monogrammed bag for two dollars for...

Pretty bad. Bulk candy is nearly $4 per 100g which is ridiculous considering you can find a lot of what they carry at grocery stores for like half the price. A lot of it is stale as well. For the price you should get premium quality. The guy working there just stares at you the entire time you shop as if you're going to steal something (and no I don't look like a street person). I had a more enjoyable experience at their ice cream shop but I won't be returning to either since they very obviously post fake 5 ⭐ Google reviews for themselves. Any reputable business doesn't need to do shady...
