The store offers bulk, counter goods, candy-related gifts, sugar-free, and kosher products and will be located in the Freedom Town Center at 2733 Freedom Pkwy Dr Suite 6.
A grand opening has been rescheduled for August 10 from 12:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. and is expected to have games, music, prizes and, of course, candy for all attendees.
