I love this place! It's a fun attraction and there's so much to enjoy! I've been going for 10 years now and I make sure to pick up a pie every time!
BUT WATCH OUT FOR CREDIT CARD SKIMMING!!!!!!!!!
This store is a hot spot for skimming credit cards and smart watches.
It's close to a highway, extremely packed during travel season, and the isles are very narrow! Very convenient for anybody trying to scan a credit card through wallets, purses, and smart watches.
Also, It's a CASH ONLY store and they have a lot of ATM's that could contain skimmers or take your credit/debit card information!
In one of my recent visits, someone tried to skim my Fitbit's contactless payment feature (which I don't use) - most likely by hovering their phone over it. Some phones allow you to pay with the phone's built-in NFC reader, so all they need is a phone to scan your smart watch. Keep an eye out for people walking around with phones in their hands at pocket-level.
I've been hit with two fraudulent charges on my debit card which most likely came from this location.
I have an anti-NFC/EMV reader card in my wallet to prevent skimming so it's possible my card was skimmed at an ATM at this location.
-I've only used my Debit card twice this year, once at a trusted bank's ATM which has a camera and other security features to prevent skimmer installations and it's owned by the credit union itself. The other time was at this candy store's ATM which could be owned by a 3rd party (someone else other than the store)
-I hardly use my Debit card which is where the charge was posted, listed as "AMAZON MARKETPLACE" even though the card is not attached to my Amazon account.
If your card was skimmed, call your credit card's 24hr fraud department, dispute the charges, get a new card.
That's my warning! Keep an eye out for strangers, watch their hands, and avoid the ATM'S if possible. If you must use the ATM's, keep an eye on your credit card statements for purchases you did not make!
I hope to see more security measures in place to prevent skimming, but
DON'T LET THAT SCARE YOU FROM ENJOYING MINNESOTA'S LARGEST CANDY STORE!!!

Ā Ā Ā Read moreUpon visiting the venue, I was struck by the captivating and immersive experience featuring beloved characters from the Marvel universe and Disney movies. The presence of a singing band dedicated to entertaining kids with popular Marvel characters and Disney movie personas added an element of joy and liveliness to the atmosphere. Additionally, the sight of Spider-Man hanging on the outside of the building and the array of baked treats available further enriched the overall experience, creating a delightful ambiance that catered to both children and adults.
The graphics at the venue were truly impressive, contributing to the engaging and visually stimulating environment. It was evident that meticulous attention was given to the design and presentation of the space, enhancing the overall appeal and providing visitors with a thoroughly enjoyable visual experience.
However, it was disappointing to note the exclusive focus on Biden-related merchandise, which detracted from the otherwise carefree and fun atmosphere. In order to preserve the venue's welcoming and non-partisan ambiance, it is crucial for such spaces to maintain political neutrality or avoid political references altogether. This would ensure that visitors can fully immerse themselves in the enjoyable and lighthearted atmosphere without encountering potentially divisive elements.
In conclusion, the venue's innovative incorporation of beloved characters, delightful entertainment, and visually stunning elements creates a wonderful and memorable experience for visitors. Moving forward, it would be beneficial for the venue to consider a more balanced approach to merchandise and thematic elements, maintaining a focus on providing a carefree and enjoyable atmosphere for all patrons.
