Do you have sweet memories of the candy you used to eat as a child? You might find that candy on East Main Street in Lititz, PA.
The family-owned business Candy*ology is a sugary blend of retro candy and today's favorites.
Candy overload
Inside the doors of this adorable little shop run by Rita and Gary Garson in historic downtown, you'll find a colorful abundance of all things sugary. In the front section of the store, they have placed the newer candy. One once you walk towards the back of the store you'll see their vintage section where you might find the candy you used to love as a child.
Here, there are old-fashioned sweets such as Mary Janes, Candy Buttons, Turkish Taffy, and Violet Mints. Oh, and the candy cigarettes. This shop also specializes in Belgium chocolate creations and homemade fudge, all made locally in Lititz, PA.
The shelves are overloaded with candy for all ages. Their candy buckets where kids can mix and match are a true favorite for the little ones, both among the locals and for students visiting the town on a class field trip.
Although candy usually appeals to the younger ones, this is a spot where also the older generation can have a fun experience and reminisce about the candy stores they used to visit as a child, back when they were carefully picking out candy from their weekly allowance.
Odd sodas
Most visitors stop at the sight of their soda selection. Here, you'll find a wall of sodas. These are weird sodas, and there are about 100 flavors to choose from. You can get everything from buffalo wings and sweet corn to cucumber soda. There's even one with the flavor of ranch dressing!
In other words, these are the flavors you wouldn't find in your supermarket. Some of the flavors are odd and wacky, some tasty, and some worth trying just because of the look of it, not to mention the name of it. The bacon soda and the dog drool soda are both local favorites.
Personal and friendly
This family-owned business is simply a magical place in a local small town where you can pick all your favorite candies. You'll for sure get your sweet tooth craving satisfied, and the personal style and the friendliness of the staff make stopping by this shop a good and memorable experience.
The borough of Lititz is located in the northern part of Lancaster, PA. It is a friendly town with a lively vibe, and here, all things local are celebrated.
