Who Doesn't Like A Candy Store

The Coney Island Candy Store is in a relatively new building. It is located on the site where the Hub Cigar Store once stood. That building was destroyed in a fire. When this one was built the owners went with a facade that fits right into the old historic style of Whyte Avenue.
This store is a fun place to stop in. They have a Zoltar machine (fans of the movie Big know about this), they sell a variety of candies including a 5 pound Gummy Bear.
When we go inside we definitely fill like a kid in candy store for sure

@zonnestraaltje The inside is even better

[Agnes Zonnestraaltje]

[Anne ❀]

very cool that the new store was built to match the original style. would love to see inside too ..... ;-)

[Juliette Packham]

[karenann]

Well, I know where to find my husband!! Great shot and beautiful architecture. A five pound gummy-bear! Wow.

[John]

5 pound gummy bear how cool, great capture.

[Brian Baptie]

As soon as I saw that Fudge sign you had me.

[Shanne]

oh wow, great looking place

[Paula]

Great little shop. Vancouver is starting to price itself out of funky little shops like this. Sigh, more Starbucks:(

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Oooohhh! Candy!! Nice shot!

[Diane]

A Zoltar machine?! Have you ever gotten a wish? This is a really nice photo, showing the old and new facades.

[bruni]

You guys are on vacation? always figured a candy store to be in an old building like you see in films.

[Michael Elliott]

When I saw the sign I thought "I didnt know you were in Brooklyn" as in CI. Sounds like an interesting stoe and nice pic!

[Lauren]

excellent shot! i was just here a week ago when my sister was in town. but i didn'y buy anything too exciting, just Altoids lol

[Courtney]

What a cute little shop! I like it!

[mag]

bet there are some great shots inside too....BTW...I saw a female Zoltar machine a few weeks ago...her name was Natasha....very cool...

[Bob G]

I don't think I've seen one of these lately. You need to get inside and get a shot of the good stuff.

[bkb in the city]

@bobg i have one from the other day I will have to post those someday

[bkb in the city]

@maggotx Yes it is great inside. I took some shots a while back so I will have to post those sometime

[bkb in the city]

@cfitzgerald Glad to hear that

[bkb in the city]

@laurentye I think that the last time we were there we picked up some Root Beer flavoured twizzlers

[bkb in the city]

@michaelelliott I am not sure if this is a large company or an independent store. It is a fun place to visit though

[bkb in the city]

@bruni I wish but this is right here at home. I love this city

[bkb in the city]

@eudora Thanks, no I have never tried it yet

[bkb in the city]

@olivetreeann Thanks glad you like it

[bkb in the city]

@pwallis Well we do have a lot of those here too. It is nice to still have some good old fashioned stores around

[bkb in the city]

@shanne Glad you like it

[bkb in the city]

[bkb in the city]

@zonnestraaltje Will have to post those pictures someday as well

[Kerri]

I love candy stores

[bkb in the city]

@kerristephens Me too I think you would love this one

[Ms Artsy (Kelly)]

I love all your photos, cause they look so, so familiar... just moved from Edmonton 3 months ago to Lake Country in beautiful BC. I think it makes me a little home sick. I miss Whyte Ave., again terrific shots bkb cheers

[Carolyn White]

I love shops like this! I haven't been to one in ages.....which is probably a good thing. I don't need the calories! I'm not a fan of Gummy Bears, but I would love to see a five pound one! :0)

[bkb in the city]

@cjwhite We usually don't buy to much if we go in. It is just neat to stop in once in a while and see if they have anything new

[bkb in the city]

@msartsy Well I am glad to be on 365. I was born and raised here and I love showing off Edmonton to the 365 community

[Shirley Chetwynd]
