"Best old candy store and car service ever. Any candy you can think of you will find here. Their auto service dept is the best. Their mechanics are excellent. The whole place is well maintained. Neat orderly and clean. Eileen and Ronnie and their staff are a pleasure to do business with. My thanks to a great team."
"Such a cute candy store with great nostalgic candies and games as well."
"Excellent selection of old time candy and toys. They had a Willy Wonker tin lunchbox that I had them put all the goodies in for my sons 40th birthday. Wonderful job putting it all together for me"
"Came for the candy shop. I drive past it often but decided to stop it today and I’m glad I did. This idiosyncratic candy shop has been around for decades. Ronnie, the owner of the auto repair and candy shop, gave me a brief introduction of their history. It was initially a gas station owned by his in-laws, until they renovated the office into a general store. It was the only one that offered food and drink, as well as a grand collection of smokes. When gas stations in the area began following suit, his wife Eileen decided to convert the store into a “nostalgic candy shop”. But don’t worry- all the candy and chocolate bars are reproductions from their respective manufacturers. Eventually they took out the gas station for extra parking space. The candy shop also stocks nostalgic toys and colorforms, lunch boxes and collectibles, but the most interesting things were a popcorn machine and a refrigerated Coca-Cola unit the couple had restored; they’re in working condition too, not just for display! I never knew the animals on Animal Crackers packaging used to be behind bars. Or that a Skybar, which was Ronnie’s favorite growing up, had 4 flavors within 1 bar. If you’ve got a car to service, they do everything except for body work. They’re very transparent about prices and waits won’t feel long with this candy shop next door. Don’t drive by like I did for months, come check it out!"
