B.A. Sweetie Candy

Your childhood memories can be relived through a visit to BA Sweeties. They have the candies and confection products from your childhood. I would be surprised if you can't find what you enjoyed. This place is very large and will take you time to get through. But who cares about time. When time is flying by us very fast. They have a huge soda aisle. Of numerous flavors that are delicious and well unique. Hard to explain all the flavors in this post. But one of the sodas is named Toenail fungus. And keep an open mind on all the different flavors. It doesn't taste like toe nail fungus. But it's a great name. The other aisles have numerous candies and even bulk candies sold by the pound. Be careful. As your eyes don't know how heavy something is. And you'll be surprised how fast things add up. And lastly. They have an awesome soda and ice cream parlor. With numerous options available. Please get here and relive your childhood.

B.A. Sweetie Candy is a fun little place to visit. Whether you're from this area, or traveling, you can easily spend a couple hours between the warehouse, the ice cream parlor and mini golf. The warehouse was huge with multiple isles dedicated to more retro candies, some of which I haven't seen in 30 years. They have individual pieces of candy, bags of candy, bulk candy, and even items like different types of sodas. One of the cutest things in the store, were shopping carts that were made for kids.Attached to the warehouse is an ice cream and soda shop. They offer everything from ice cream cones to sundaes to milkshakes to floats. Multiple different flavors are available. Pricing is a little bit high, but the items are a good size for what you pay for. Outside into the front, you'll find the entrance for the mini golf. It's a fun family, friendly experience. They seem to have pretty adequate staff for the warehouse, and everyone seemed very polite. We would head back up there for sure. And I would recommend this as a place to go for maybe a down day if you're visiting or a fun staycation place to go.

Heard about BA Sweetie from a friend and man was I happy. This place was massive and filled with candies, many from my childhood. It literally is like a Costco just filled with isles and isles of candy. I loved that you could purchase individual wrapped pieces or boxes if you wanted. I never saw so many different flavors of big league chew. They had so many choices and unique flavors of candies you don't typically see such as tropical flavored smarties, birthday cake Kit Kats, sea salt werthers just to name a few. If you enjoy candies this is a must stop for you. If you google prices online you will find some of the candies are marked slightly higher but majority of the items are cheaper here.

Wow, such a fun shop. We stopped in on our way back home to Chicago and had a really good experience.They have a HUGE variety of Candies, snacks, toys, and other fun things for "kids" of all ages. Service is helpful and friendly, and we really enjoyed the ice cream from the soda shop area. I went in with a 100$ max budget and got a lot of great treats. Of course, I wish I could have gotten more, but that's why I will definitely be back soon. Would recommend. Note: I was in search of the original 'sweet and sour' CHARMS lollipops but unfortunately, that was the 1 candy they didn't seem to have. Not to worry, I found another similar lollipop to try out.

I felt like a kid in a candy store. (Pardon the idiom here.) But seriously. Any candy you could ever DREAM of in this warehouse of sugar. I don't even think we looked at half of it and my son and I were both drooling. I let him pick a couple different things, and I let myself pick a couple different things. It was surprisingly busier than I would have ever expected at 11 AM on a Monday, but not so busy that we had to wait in line or anything like that. There is also a mini golf course there and an ice cream shop (that was closed until noon tough during our visit). Very cool place.

Huge warehouse of candy that both kids and adults would enjoy! There's a huge parking lot to park in but it was very full when I went on a Saturday. There's mini-golf outside and a soda fountain connected to the warehouse. They have a wide variety of candy options available along with popcorn and interesting flavored sodas in bottles. You can buy items in bulk or individually. Would recommend as a fun stop for any candy lover!

Came in on a weekend and the parking lot was FULL. This place is like a theme park for adults AND children. The selection of candy and chocolate is unmatched. The prices for some items were super fair and some, I thought, were a little high. The aisles were very wide, the products were organized by type. So, it was easy to find all of the licorice together, sour stuff, gummy candy, etc. They had popcorns, a chocolate counter with more "gourmet" type stuff, and tons of bright lighting and decor. The employees that I interacted with were friendly and prompt to serve. There's a little ice cream shop attached that I walked through. It looks like a great place to spend an afternoon.

Warehouse of candy!Of course the kids loved it. Aisles of candy what kid would not love it. Giant lollipops, gum, chocolate, jelly beans, anything a kid could want. The entrance had a fun hopscotch game with a colorful mural. Inside they have small carts for kids to push around the store. They have a wall of cars for the kids to look at. In the middle there is a case of candy covered food and caramel apples. In the front they have an ice cream/ soda shop. Overall they have a great selection of items. Many of them you can get at your local store. But they have some unique items. As a adult I thought the store was dirty/dusty. Prices were good on some items and high on others. Just beware when making purchases I saw expired dates on some items. Others did not so you don't know how long they have been there. I also tried a caramel apple and it didn't have much flavor.

I visited while in town with my family. Selection was good, but what really ruined it for me was the discrimination I felt for having a service dog. Every single employee was questioning if he was "really a service dog" and one even told me that my dog was the wrong breed to be a service dog. I'd advise you to please educate your staff that not all disabilities are visible. Not all service dogs are golden retrievers. I hope for the sake of the next service animal who comes in - they treat the human better.

A ginormous selection of candy. Wonderful experience with the product. With that being said my experience was ruined by a cashier. She was wearing a purple shirt older lady. I'm a younger women myself and I simply said "I have the three cents" and she said "I heard you" because prior I asked my partner if they had 3 sense. She was very rude during this encounter and screamed at me for my receipt!
