I will try this on another day and give it another shot, but was a boy let down this time around. I went in to either get a cone or cups to go (for my folks) but the flavor we wanted was scraped almost dry in the tub. It just looked bad. A few of the others that were full looked like they had been sitting awhile. Most looked fine, but I wanted Licorice, and it was scraped out. No one else was in the store at the time, so I had a minute to walk around. They definitely have a great selection of nostalgic candy. Prices are higher than the grocery store or Amazon, but that's to be expected. There was a really nice selection of sodas that looked fun. They should offer a tasting event sometime, so the wall isn't so overwhelming. Maybe host a hot dog wagon outside and small taster cups of the specialty beverages.The most appetizing thing in the store was the fresh candy counter, where everything was absolutely drool-worthy. I will be back to try something there, for sure.But the biggest reason they failed to make a sale was that the staffperson (the only one I saw, who was perched at the front) was wearing a mask, and I couldn't understand a word she said. I will stop by again sometime to see how the licorice is doing and get some fresh chocolate.

Driving by and saw this cool place and checked it out.Located across from Kennedy High School and across from the Holiday gas station. They do have a small/limited parking lot in front.Inside looks pretty cool. You've got a lot of nostalgic candy, sodas, ice cream games and miscellaneous items.

I love the good vibes I get when I walk into Grandpa Joe's Candy Shop. The staff is friendly, the games and novelty selection is unique and the ice cream is great. If you're tasked with buying someone a gift on short notice, this is an excellent place to do it; there's a lot of pop culture references to choose from: Mr. Rodgers magnets, Taylor Swift books, Ted Lasso energy drinks and candy, Dundie Awards from the Office, a Home Alone board game, socks with funny sayings on them, practical jokes, a candy buffet, old school candy your Grandparents ate, I could go on and on.
