kid in a candy store

Main Street, Miamisburg, Ohio...

This charming street is what one thinks of when envisioning Main Street, USA - nostalgic atmosphere, historic buildings, a beautiful setting (it sits along the Great Miami River), it's the center of a small town's culture, plenty of boutique shops and good restaurants.

My friend called and asked me if I wanted to go to Grandpa Joe's Candy Shop. Her kids and grandkids love candy and she wanted to get some candy for their Christmas stockings. 

This a store for candy lovers of all ages. It's filled with candy retro and new, hundreds of glass bottle soda pops, and novelty gift items. I must have walked around the store ten times, seeing something new each time. 

Talk about a sweet way to start the day!

Grandpa Joe's most popular attraction is its $5.00 candy buffet. You walk around the store and fill a box with whatever candy you want. If the lid closes, you pay $5.00. It's surprising how much candy you can fit into that box.
