This spot doesn't look like much from the outside, but this plain exterior has a supremely yummy filling.
In fact, you might drive right by this place if you weren't in the know. The store is housed in a brick building that looks rather like a warehouse.
Inside, however, all of your sugar fantasies spring into reality.

Many brand name and local candies are offered in massive bags that can match even the fiercest sweet tooth.
This place is actually a candy wholesale outlet, but they are open to the public and welcome visitors looking for a bundle of sweets.
And the best part? The bulk selection of sweet is priced to sell.
