The Candy Corner — Local services in Hampton

I wish I had found this sooner. I have been going to Hampton Beach for over 20 years. I always stayed away from the store because it is a temptation to buy sugary treats and I'm a sucker for such delights. One day post Seafood Festival I went with my family to visit the shore and while they were waiting in line for food I wandered over to the store, finally giving in to years of temptation. I found the best sugar free fudge in my life. I'm not a fudge person. I never like it. It's always way to sweet and grainy for me. This however is sugar free fudge so smooth and sweet but not over powering. It does not have a diet after taste at all. No one in my family knew it was sugar free. I got a buy one get one free thinking I would give most of it to my family. Instead, I gave them a few bites and took both packages to work where I nibble on a small piece every day. It's smooth heaven on my tongue. I believe the store closes for the winter season but I WILL be back for the fudge...

It’s a very nice candy store right on the boulevard in Hampton, NH, right in the center of things. The only complaint I have is they charge 3% for using your credit card and they don’t accept American Express.

I think this really ticks a lot of people off. I know it does me and I told them I refuse to go there ever again, and I have a beach cottage that I own nearby.

Why can’t you just raise your prices 2% to make up for that 3% as some people still use cash? And why don’t you accept American Express? You do realize that people who carry American Express cards and travel spend more money especially on their AMEX credit cards. Also people who use credit cards tend to spend more money in general.

So they think they’re saving a 3% credit card fee (most cards charge around 2%) by charging it to the customer but their customers are buying less product. They have 50% markup on their candy. They just don’t get it. And they won’t be...

The fudge is alright, nothing truly exceptional. Simply average fudge. On the other hand the price is outrageous. Everything is overpriced here. $6 for homemade peanut butter cups(EACH!), $5 for a 1/4 lb of caramel popcorn and even the fudge itself, this place truly takes advantage of tourist with its ridiculously high pricing. But the worst part, really the main reason why I'm even writing this review is the customer service. The lady in front that greets people is alright but the young man behind the counter was truly a douchebag. This guy couldn't contain his irritation at the time it took me to make my purchasing selection and considering the diversity and prices I'd expect a little more patience. Also, his tone and rhetoric was nothing short of condescending, this man was truly a douchebag. I won't be shopping here again, there are better options on...
