Exotic Snacks R us — Local services in Elk Grove Township

It's interesting to browse the selection of goodies here, but I'm one and out. Their prices are incredibly high - $6.99 for very small bags of Doritos that probably aren't that different than American varieties. Ritter chocolate bars for $3.99 - the same ones that often go on sale for $1.99, with a non-sale price of $2.99. Woogie hard candies for $3.99 - these are $2.99 everywhere else and as low as $2.49 at a handful of stores. While the Master chips may seem like a good deal at 2 for $2.50 - these are the tiniest bags. The Nescafe is very overpriced - I bought twice the size for $7.99 at a different store.

I was disappointed by the lack of diversity of countries/regions. Not much from Western Europe - not a single Dutch product. They also stock typical candy you can get anywhere, but for the kind of prices you'd pay at Dylan's Candy Bar.

In addition to being incredibly overpriced, far too many things aren't priced. I bought Halva from a section marked 50-70% off and it was only 10% off - false advertising. I had to ask the teenager girl who was working the register to look up prices and she seemed clueless and a little confused.

Montrose Market is a few blocks away and has great candy and snacks, albeit only Polish. A little further, KD Market also has terrific Polish candy and there are wonderful Indian stores on Elmhurst Rd, as well. And if you're looking for Mexican candy, there are...

The owner was amazing! However if I was in charge of the store I'd recommend a few things. First off show where the chips or sweets etc come from? Seems like the flags were put wherever. I'd recommend actually tying the flags to the chips chocolate or whatever. Also no prices? Grant it the prices were great however some were marked high which we stayed away from. It was a guessing game. Please mark your prices. My daughter was EXTREMELY happy with her 2 bags of chips and her soda and donuts and we had fun on the way home trying them but we had no clue where they were from we had to look them up..it ended up being a great trip but just a few things that can be improved upon. Also the other thing was he was on a business call and how he trusts the other guy etc. Would have been nice for him to show us around etc...overall 4...

Wow! Glad I noticed that the normally empty strip mall parking lot was almost full, and it is primarily due to this fun new store. Incredible variety and selection of snacks and drinks from all over the world. Fair pricing and I don't think this level of product diversity can be compared to anywhere else in the region. It's not a huge store, but they make effective use of every square inch. It was very popular when I visited, navigating the aisles was a little tough - but everyone there is happy and friendly, because everyone loves snacks! You may have to wait a little bit to check out, like I said - super popular place. That's because they're...
