I love the idea of this store! This store is called the "Nation's Only Historic Candy Store" & is…read moreowned by Susan Benjamin. She is a renowned candy historian. After entering, we received a warm welcome and began perusing the candies and treats. They were organized by time period and some interesting information was posted nearby and/or on the individual item. There were also gift sets. Some of the items were quite dusty and seemed as if they had been there for some time. A lot of the items were things that can be purchased in Cracker Barrel or in other old-timey candy stores elsewhere. They offer modern candy as well, but overall, I was underwhelmed. I was quite surprised to see historic candies so full of artificial dyes. That was an eye opener. I was kind of surprised at the signage throughout the store. The signs seemed basic when considered all the endorsements that the store has. Maybe the signs were made to look less modern. I didn't end up purchasing anything but was glad to visit.

I bookmarked this shop when I saw their entry on Atlas Obscura.

The candy of old. Part museum and part sweet shop, they have displays showing the candies through the ages, from native American hickory bark to 1900 toys and food items behind glass. It was tough to limit our purchase as we saw so many "must have" items. In the end, we got our bill down to under $30 and just got four different things including some chocolate covered almonds for me (vacation food!) and both ginger and licorice for Mrs. K. Note that True Treats Candy is not handicapped accessible. The entrance is a somewhat steep set of stairs. They might have a rear entrance, probably just ask.

Also a pretty incredible soda wall in the back of unique and novelty flavors. Unfortunately the soda is not only on the back wall, but on the bottom shelves all along the back of the store. My 4 year old accidentally bumped into one as she was walking and it fell, didn't break, but the top came off and spilled. I jokingly said she owed me as in now had to pay for that bottle as I assumed they would simply write it off like most businesses would when there's an accidental break. Instead one of the workers simply said "yeah you do!" in an extremely entitled and rude manner. Perhaps she was an owner, I have no idea. She disappeared and we never saw her again. We were them forced to pay for the soda. We were discounted 50% but it's still ridiculous. Maybe don't put bottles on the bottom shelf where little kids can easily bump into them. Especially in a CANDY STORE WHERE YOUR MAIN AUDIENCE IS KIDS. The worker did apologize for having to charge us, but she apparently texted the owners and was told to do so...

I recently participated in Georgie Lou's Retro Candy's 6th Annual Sweetheart Stroll, and while this…read moremay have been their sixth time hosting it, it was my first time even hearing about it. I immediately corrected that mistake by buying a ticket the moment I saw the event posted--and then started counting down the days. The concept alone sold me: a ticketed, adults-focused stroll through downtown Carlisle, with participating small businesses offering tastings, experiences, treats, and deals. Sweethearts of all kinds were welcome--couples, besties, gal pals--and dressing in red and pink for Valentine's vibes was strongly encouraged. Say less. Ticketing was super easy, and Georgie Lou's did a fantastic job with pre-event communication, especially via social media. One post in particular deserves a shout-out: a reminder to bring a bag to carry your treats. This is something I absolutely would not have thought about until I was awkwardly shoving sweet treats into my coat pockets. I came prepared with a small reusable shopping bag (pink, obviously), and by the end of the stroll it was completely full of sweets, trinkets, and purchases. Meanwhile, others were struggling with overflowing pockets alongside gloves, hats, maps, and life regrets. Lesson learned. Excellent advice! I found parking around 1pm and headed to Georgie Lou's to check in and grab my materials. The staff were incredibly friendly, checked my name off the list, and sent me on my way with a Map of Hearts, a button identifying me as an official 2026 Sweetheart Stroller, and a small sweet treat to kick things off. I also took some time to explore the shop itself--my first visit--and wow! They have managed to pack an impressive amount of nostalgic goodness into a small space. Total blasts from the past, plus candies I'd never seen before. Super fun shop! From there, the stroll itself was a delight. Georgie Lou's clearly put a lot of care into coordinating participating businesses, and it showed. Most spots offered sweet treats, discounts, or special offerings, but every single business was warm, welcoming, and happy to have folks stopping in. Even though I've done a few downtown Carlisle walk-style events before, I still discovered shops I'd never been in--and every purchase I made that day was from a place I was visiting for the first time. That alone feels like a win. Overall, this was a fantastic way to spend a few hours on a very chilly January Saturday. It got me out of the house, walking downtown, supporting local businesses, and discovering gems I usually zoom past while driving from Point A to Point B. I had such a great time that I jokingly asked if I could pre-register for next year... apparently that's "not a thing yet." Fine. I'll wait. :) This has officially been added to my annual tradition list. Great event, great execution, great vibes. Well done, Georgie Lou's!

I was dad of the year since I never take them to candy shops! But what I found was just so great about this place was the unique offerings. It's a family tradition to make gingerbread houses and I found all the old time candy I used to decorate the gingerbread houses with my mom. They have ribbon candy, and just about any kind of candy you can think of. They also have clear toy candy, which is a very old type of candy that is very rare to find. I spent a near fortune getting clear toy candy at an old time shop in Philadelphia last year. And loved the selection this shop had. It still wasn't cheap but nowhere near what I paid in Philly! My kids couldn't help but pick out some candy for themselves and I got 2 bags of gummy candy that was about the freshest gummies I've ever had. Lastly, the shop has a really fun throwback of those quarter dispensers where you can put in the coins and get either a handful of candy or a toy. My kids were less interested in this. But it brought back memories for me of growing up in PA, and seeing these machines at all the local grocery stores. This shop is fantastic and I hope they continue to thrive.
