Great place to get candy from back in the day that are unique but mostly everyday candy you can buy. I was amazed by these Gummi Bear Silicone Cups they sell at the front of the store with various colors. The service was amazing and the staff were friendly and helpful! read more

Just driving up to this adorable shop brought excitement! We were greeted with a warm smile and eagerness to help by the owner. There was SO MUCH candy!! My favorite find was the bulk style of PEZ candy! I have only seen them in packages. The grandkids loved them. The taffy was fresh and delicious as was the many many versions of Jelly Belly candies. On the bag was a scan code to have more delivered. The lady said there was no delivery charge. I don't know if it was just at Christmas time or always. Good deal, no less. The cost was to be expected. Weigh Weigh Weigh or it will sneak up on you! The parking was fine. The place was clean and was still organized despite having thousands of candies!! read more

This is a cool spot with a huge selection of candy. My three kids and I were visiting Surfside Beach for the week and decided to check out Gretel's Candy House. We were very impressed with the selection of candy they have! Exciting store with helpful & welcoming employees. My biggest complaint was the prices - high even by Beach Price standards! I would still return because it's a great spot (especially with kids) on a beach trip. Just be prepared to pay a premium! read more

So, I collect gingerbreads and lost my mind before we even entered the store! See pic! Their schtick is having old school candies. I kept a lid on myself and didn't buy any candy. I did buy a plush red parrot because I love birds. Kids must go bat sh*t in here! read more

AMAZING SELECTION OF CANDY A huge selection of jelly beans, gumballs, gummy bears, chocolates, taffy, suckers, hard candy, and specialty candies... even pop rocks! We love the dark chocolate covered raisins and almonds, even though they are quite expensive. You'll definitely satisfy your sweet tooth and have fun exploring this store. The ambiance is colorful & fun and the servers are polite and professional. read more

It's a candy store...and a very expensive one at that. They have candy. If you want overpriced candy, go there. It's cute to look at from the outside, but the novelty wears off quickly. Inside is insanely overcrowded. Just be prepared to pay dearly for some sweet treats. I'd say save your money and swing by the Dollar Store or WalMart if you really want a sugar fix. I can't really speak to the service...I purposely wasn't interacting bc I didn't plan on buying anything...my wife wanted to overspend on some candy. read more

Fun place with loads of candy. Sadly, many of the candy bars or packages candy had an expiration date that had already passed. My daughter opted for a stuffed animal souvenir instead. read more

Don't go in hungry although it really doesn't matter because everyone has has an insatiable SWEET TOOTH. We were greeted by the associate which answered our many questions! The old saying Like a Kid in a Candy Shop was understated! So many choices. We made a bagful of candy by the pound and enjoyed for days. They have an inviting outside showing things to come. Plenty of parking just waiting for you. read more

Stopped in to stock up on some candy. My 11 year old loves a variety and this place has it. I settled for some tuttie fruities which is something I remember from my childhood that I loved. Price of the candy is pricey but we're on vacation so that justified the price. My husband tagged along and complimented on the store music. Owner was very nice and staff was welcoming read more

After reviewing and checking the time multiple times for the Store. At 10:38 we were greeted by an employee saying (we closed) to our big group of people. Which we replied, it says you're open till 11. which she replied, (I decided to close early.) Such a disappointment in customer Service And a big loss of money for the Store read more

Always a stop for us on our annual beach trip. Friendly staff. Lots of candies I haven't seen since I was a child. I'm glad I'm not the one who has to keep up with inventory and keeping the place stocked but I don't think I saw a single empty bin. I was happy to see a mezuzah on the door. read more

Great little treat of a place for family and friends. Nostalgic , neat and fun to find candy of yesteryear and today.

This place is ADORABLE! We have been dying to try this candy shop and we finally did. I felt very nostalgic, as some of the candies reminded me so much of my childhood and my grandma. The kids had fun choosing their items, and I walked out with a lot of chocolate and I mean, A LOT! Place is family owned and the daughter was extremely helpful and very sweet. read more

This a must do if you go to the Myrtle Beach area! Fair prices and very clean store. I've been to a lot of candy stores and I've never seen some of the candies they had here. Many cool photo opportunities too! Loads of sugar free stuff as well. Staff was very kind and asked us if we needed anything. We also met the owner and she was super lovely. Must visit! read more

Such a fun candy store! Haven't been in a better one, ever. Victoria, the owner, and Dayna were super fun when we stopped in. This place has any Candy you can think of. And plenty of options from your childhood that you can't really find today. Highly recommend a visit, with or WITHOUT your kids . We will return. read more

This place looks AWESOME from the outside and I dragged my husband there immediately on our trip. But we were quickly disappointed as soon as we stepped foot inside. This place is honestly just a ploy to get your money. The price per pound is INSANE. There was nothing unique about it inside. They know they are getting the tourist market, but not us! I am sure if you are looking for something specific they probably have it, but for the price point they are expecting this place was beyond disappointing. read more

Absolutely the best candy store in town They have everything you can think of and then some! read more

Gretel's is cute on the outside as well as the inside. It is very bright on the inside with large candy selection. I like how the candies are divided by sections. They also have a lot of prepackaged and name brand candy. The malt balls and chocolate covered coffee beans were my favorite items. They had a lot of cool gummy candy. I wish they had more peanut butter choices in the bulk sections. This is a fun place to take kids. read more

If you can't find your favorite candy here, then it probably doesn't exist. Gretel's has everything! Gummies, taffies, jellybeans, rock candy, chocolate, peanut butter, fudge, sour candy, pockys, even a whole rack of sugar free candy! You can also get a few souvenirs and toys here, including Gretel's Candy House shirts. You can even get spicy candy (Satan's Toe, anyone?) I saw so many unique candies that would make excellent souvenirs and gifts. It's an experience just to walk around looking at everything! And we found the prices pretty reasonable. Most of the self-select candies were priced according to weight. read more

Fun place to go and let the kids go wild with candy of their choosing. We gave our granddaughter her own money and told her whatever she wanted. She was excited and love picking out her items. read more

What a fun and exciting place to take the family to!! They have such a vast variety of candy. There was a lot that we hadn't even seen or heard of before. The atmosphere was great for the kids, but the customer service was exceptional!!! Gretel and her husband were so friendly and inviting. They were adamant about ensuring our family enjoyed our visit to their candy store. It's not often you find that kind of customer service anymore. Definitely a "mom & pop" feel. If you're in the area this is the candy store you want to shop at! read more

It was just okay, billboards make it sound better than it is. While it does have a lot of candy it's by no means a huge selection, lots of wasted space in there and what candy they do have was really high priced. I do not know if they have taken some things out due to the virus crap or if its always kinda empty inside. I was disappointed. I was expecting a store packed full of candies, this isnt it. We didnt buy anything, they didnt have what we were looking for. Best priced item in there are their tshirts and sweatshirts but we didnt like the store enough to buy a shirt. There were two women working who were talking amongst themselves behind the counter but neither card enough to engage anyone in the store. It was a nice 15 minute time killer but nothing we would go back to or recommend. read more

amazing place, tons of candies. I would highly recommend going here for anything candy related and the prices were pretty good too

My family and I loved this little candy shop. The owner was down to earth and very friendly. I love how the outside looks like the story book Hansel and Gretel. Will definitely go back here next time. read more

Ordered some licorice pastels online. Candy was described as old-fashioned pastels with a hard candy shell and a chewy licorice. What I received appeared (and tasted) as though it had been stored in a humid warehouse for 2-3 years. The "hard candy shell" was soft and crumbly. The "chewy licorice" was so hard it was difficult to bite into and chew. I returned my order immediately. read more
