Kokkos Candy Shop — Local services in Fort Bragg

I saw Candy Store on Google Maps and was excited to stop. Hoping for like an old "penny" candy shop. First, I couldn't find it inside the little mall there. Walked all around and then, came across this big empty space with a long bar. I was not greeted. Had one rack maybe two of freeze dried candies. No prices. I saw a sign that said ring a bell for a free sample. So I did and the girls behind the bar looked over and pointed to the end of the counter where I met her and she went through the types they had. I tried a Starburst one. Very good. Found out the small bags were $10 so I decided to pass. I was definitely underwhelmed and disappointed that that was all they had. Now reading the reviews here where it indicates this is a kids run business and so on and so forth I may have purchased something. There needs to be better signage in the mall so you don't miss it and signage or video or something explaining their mission and maybe pictures up of the kids making the candy. Something so you know...

I grew up on the coast and I can’t explain how thrilled I am to see Big Jake (the founder & day-to-day owner) and his team taking on a beautiful vision! For a long time, I’ve hoped that Fort Bragg could develop a powerful program that gives youth hope, encouragement, and feeds them beyond just filling their bellies! The interns are inspiringly enthusiastic, and watching everybody come in and get excited about Kokkos’ vision is a delight! Swing by and build a friendship with Big Jake and his team! I’ve gotten my siblings in grade school plugged in, and I can’t wait to see what events/ resources Kokkos has...
