This place is unique for more than just their assortments of candies, but they do have all candies new and retro to choose from. 9x outta 10 they will have heat you're looking for. I've got to bring home the game bean boozle before to play with my kids and I don't know if they still carry any of them because of the controversy but they used to carry the one chip challenge and the world's hottest gummy bear (if they do have them try at your own risk it's not for the weak, definitely for 18+) outside of all the candies, chocolates and popcorn you cab imagine they have all sorts of knick knacks to purchase or cool instagram worthy shots, they have a small movie theater, and an arcade area too. All in all its worth checking out at least one time if you're in the omaha area , if you haven't GO NOW !!! read more

This wasn't just shopping for candy, thus was an experience! The building is deceptive in size. From the outside, a normal business front shows off an intriguing and colorful display. Once you enter, it's as if you enter another world. A maze of candy and collections of different sorts winds through the space, opening up into pockets of wonder. There's a small theater, but was closed off during my visit. Not sure if it's open to the public. An arcade, a diner (I'm not sure if it's for show, or if they actually have food, but I'll definitely be back to find out. The candy, at least some of it was expensive to buy by the pound, but they have selections from all corners of the world! Truly a fun experience! read more

The candy is really 90's and it's not just candy there to. The cashier actually gave me a discount for some odd reason it was really nice. read more

Hollywood Candy - Candy Stores Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

What an AMAZING coincidental find that was right next to our hotel in Downton Omaha/Old Market! They have so many old time candies that you can hardly find anywhere any more! We spent well over an hour and a half in here and could have spent even more time, had our hungry tummies allowed! My family and I found several goodies each and had a great time reminiscing and looking at the many, many candies and the neat decor and collectibles they had. There is a "museum" area in the back that had so many things to look at, as well as a whole slew of pinball machines! We did end up giving a couple of them a whirl and had a great time with that, also! read more

Amazing Experience!!! Highly recommend to fulfill your sweet tooth. The nostalgia of Hollywood Candy will bring you back in time. Im from SoCal and visited. If you're from out of town this place is a must to visit! read more

This place looked much nicer on you tube. Looked kind of run down. Super crowded on a Friday evening around 9pm. I bought a magnet and that was it. The clientele was sketchy. read more

Really cool stuff to look at! Spent like an hour here and honestly the price for the candy wasn't bad! The fudge was really good!

My inner kid just came out when I walked in!! Having to hold myself back from all the nostalgic candy was very hard. They have a vinyl section which I know would have been dope to see but they closed it off for closing time. When I'm back in town from Saint Louis this will be one of my stops! read more

Hollywood Candy - Candy Stores Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

It's more than just a candy store!! When I stepped in, I was not prepared for the awesomeness that was going to hit me. The candy store has candies from all over the world. If you can make it, they have it. They also have a collection that expands more than just candies. I was lucky to get a personal tour from the store manager. He was a very warm and inviting person. He showed the piano Ariana Grande played, the fully functional arcade, the theatre where people can still rent out the space and have parties, the candy store walk of fame - including celebrities, a DVD collection. What amazed me the most was, the entire collection in this store belongs to ONE man. It's definitely an experience I'd recommend anyone visiting Omaha to experience! read more

This place is very cool for a candy shop. They have the biggest assortment of Jelly Belly jelly bean flavors, every M&M you can think of, lots of European and vintage chocolates and candies, and tons of other stuff. They also have this ridiculously huge amount of sodas. Most are pretty cool- root beer and cream sodas, even the classic Nehi sodas. But then they have weird flavors like bacon and pickles and olive sodas for whoever wants to try weird (really weird) flavors. So here's the downfall. They are pricey, especially compared to the candy stores by me. Little toy candy combos (think Dino lollipops or whistle pops for examples) are priced high. What I found for $3-4 at the store near me was almost $6 here. Which brings me to the next point-it adds up quick and to a lot. I let my kids pick out a small handful of things and I got myself a few things and $70 later, I didn't feel like we walked out with a lot. To put it in perspective, I limit how much Candy my kids eat and they were done with it the next day. So it's not like I bought a lot. So I wouldn't go here regularly, but for a one time fun treat, it was a fun experience for the kids and I. read more

A large candy selection but the prices were high my real rating would be around three point five

WOW - this is a candy store/vintage "stuff" store on steroids. They've got a little bit of everything -- candy (including all kinds of vintage and old-time favorites), popcorn, toys (both vintage and contemporary), antiques, ice cream, chocolate, all sorts of vintage stuff (albums, furniture, clothes, etc.). There is a game area with vintage pinball and other arcade type games. If you don't get lost inside, you should plan on spending about an hour here. However, if you get lost (or separated from the rest of your party) - you could be here a lot longer. A fascinating place to kill an afternoon. read more

Good place, really cool and vintage vibes. Some candy is a little overpriced but overall cool store.

Really neat place. Prices are a bit high and it can be crowded, but you're paying for a cool ambience while on the town. Define or should stop by. read more

Great atmosphere inside and it is way bigger than you think, and an awesome arcade as well, great for all ages and the candy selection is huge with a ton of old-time candies read more

Hollywood Candy is the coolest little candy shop. They have many different candy options both old and new. From the moment you enter, you are smacked with a vintage vibe. The first thing you will see is the awesome Soda Fountain. We got an old school root beer float. It was delicious! The cool part, is we sat in the exact same spots as Warren Buffet and Bill Gates. My fiance insisted it wasn't true; however, they have it on video on their website. The attendant was super nice, would have been a little cooler if he was in uniform, but he maintained that charm you would expect. When you go deeper into the store, you see more vintage items such as records and pinball machines. Also, they have some cool decor of popular movies such as Pirates of the Caribbean and Monster's Inc. Overall, this is a hip little candy store with unique vibes you won't want to miss out on if you are in the Omaha area. read more

Who doesn't like candy? Based on my latest visit no one. Candy in every color, shape, brand and era is available at Hollywood Candy and the universal appeal attracts families by the dozens. Once you pry yourself away from the candy aisles (yes plural) the nostalgia of vinyl albums, a malt shop, arcade and vintage displays pull you in and before you know it you are outside feeding the parking meter for another hour of browsing. Families were in abundance and Covid recommendations were being observed by some as we move post vaccination. I was a little put off by a sign indicating pictures could not be taken. When I asked they said I could take cellphone photos--the sign was to discourage photographers doing photo shoots and disrupting business. Street parking surrounds this corner attraction and we have never had trouble finding a metered spot. Free parking will require more of a jaunt. Navigating the store is an adventure of nooks and crannies filled to the brim with displays and merchandise but unfortunately it was a challenge for an older gentleman using a walker. We left with our candy, shared stories of childhood favorites and even a few pictures. We will be back! read more

Always a fun stop when visiting Omaha. This trip's haul included some items found at your every day C-store as well as some confetti popcorn, sour rainbow cotton candy, frosted donut cotton candy, sour cherry liquid candy spray and sour soda pop candy powder. The kids have yet to crack the seal on each item, but it's sugar and sure to be pleasing to all. read more

LAWD I love Hollywood Candy. I go about once a month and just stock up. It's so cute with their theme, and it will always have what you want. Everyone there is always so nice! A younger staff, but what a fun college job! read more

This place was amazing! I cannot believe how great the candy was and how awesome the staff is as well. They have an amazing store with lost of variety. This was a way better experience than "My fav candy store". Now that place is absolutely awful. If you want candy go here and not to "My fav candy store". I cannot stress that enough. read more

I'd give Hollywood Candy 10 stars if I could! This is hands down one of my favorite places in Omaha! Located in The Old Market, Hollywood Candy is so much more than your average candy store. Phenomenal assortment of candy. Throwback candy, new treats, homemade chocolate and fudge, and the BEST selection of gummy candy!! In addition to the candy, you'll find a vintage pinball arcade + tons of vintage treasures and knickknacks. It's like a museum and candy shop combined Definitely worth stopping in if you're in the area! read more

Astonishingly Garbage, Sure this store had every candy but also had every problem, the workers were slower than a snail and were most likely high, it took nearly 3 minutes for 6 items. But the only fault wasn't the workers, some of the arcade machines will take your money and not give it back, about 3/4 of them do this. Absolute fucking trash store, do not recommend read more

I want to start with the positives. The store was very cool. Not only did it have lots of candy to choose from (a mix of past and present favorites with stuff I have never seen) but the place itself was great. It's eclectic decor, collections if collectibles, and other offerings besides candy made it an hour+ long visit. There was even a diner area where we had lunch (2 adults and 3 kids). As for the bad. The place gets a 1 star from me due to the last couple of staff members I unfortunately interacted with. My husband had used the bathroom after we had lunch while I supervised the children getting candy. After we checked out my daughter and I wanted to use the restroom. We asked one employee (you had to have a code to get in the bathroom) who said they had no public bathroom. I asked confused because my husband had just used it. Then another customer (I didn't know) next to me said she had just used it as well. That employee got extremely pissy with me that no one was supposed to use it. I informed her if my husband and other customers used it I and my 10 yr old should be able to. She begrudgingly finally relented and let us use it. But it got worse. When we came out of the bathroom the manager (possibly owner-older female) was waiting outside the door and immediately verbally pounced on me demanding to know who let us in the bathroom. I explained to her again that my husband used it and other customers and that the last employee I spoke with had begrudgingly let us. This person continued to demand to know who let My husband use it and who let me use it and that there was no public restroom and she would talk to her employees and then continued to argue with me in front of my child about who let us use the bathroom that we weren't supposed to. She would not quit berating me about it to the point I told her to go take it up with her employees then and walked away. (I found out she had done the same to my husband while we were in the bathroom in front of our other two children.) Not only were these last two staff members I spoke with rude and unprofessional, but the last one was so bad that she literally made me consider the end of my experience there hostile. Do not come at me verbally assaulting me over something "your employees" did especially in front of my child. The candy and merchandise was way overpriced but we didn't mind paying the price as we figured it in as part of the experience there. However after being treated the way we were I am so disgruntled about this place and the whole experience has left a sour taste in my mouth. If I could get my $100 and hour of my time back from this place I would. ***I understand we are all dealing with covid and safety precautions. However that does not excuse their behavior or lack of customer service. First off post signs that say no public restroom due to covid. Secondly make sure you and your employees are on the same page. Thirdly don't treat your customers as criminals and interrogate them. Also, there were two bathrooms in a half city block business that houses a restaurant. A big part of that business is candy that caters to children if all ages. All that said and your prices, you could make one of your bathrooms for public use and one for employees only then. You can afford clorox wipes. I am a huge supporter of small/local businesses but I will never be a supporter of this one. read more

We checked this place out while on vacation, and it took me back to my childhood fast. Will visit again the next time we come to NE.

We randomly stopped in this store, and it did not disappoint! There was something interesting to look at in every direction and a collection of pop culture artifacts that will make it a destination we visit each time we are in town! read more

Hollywood Candy is a part candy shop, part vintage super store. Oh and they have a pinball museum with dozens of *playable* pinball machines from the 1960s and 1970s! It's a great spot to wonder around when you're in the Old Market. Bring your besties, crush, family and out-of-town friends alike. All will find something to pique their interest for at least a little while. There's even a small movie theater you can rent out for private events (of course they have popcorn and sodas to accompany any viewing parties). Back to the pinball museum--this has to be one of the only spots like this in the world. It's incredible just look at all the old machines and even better when you pop in a token to see them light up and start making noise as you play. I highly recommend stopping by just for the pinball. All that said, the spot can get a little overwhelming. It's cramped with vintage items and people and is visually overstimulating. In my opinion, it's best experienced on a whim and in small doses! read more

Super fun to go to with friends for a night out!! Fun atmospher with music and candy !!

YOU HAD ME AT CANDY. Well, Hollywood too. What a neat spot downtown. It has all the candies you can think of from our time and perhaps parents and grandparents. The aesthetic is retro and inside there is a full service malt bar with diner vibes. A record shop, an antique shop will local sellers. There's a huge arcade and then a small movie theater! I've actually attended a movie for another Yelp event and it has really improved since then. Lots of cool Instagramable spots and the candy isn't over priced. If you're visiting or just want to get out of the normal downtown stuff, stop by. read more

I don't understand how this place doesn't have a higher rating, it's awesome! So much more than a candy store... There's little restaurant area, an arcade and SO many antique and vintage toys, games, music themed items and more. Could easily spend a lot of time in here just looking around. They also have a movie theatre that says it can be rented out but I'm not sure how it works normally. They have a ton of movie memorabilia as well. Can't wait to come back here next time I'm in Omaha! Looking around was entertaining as well as the arcade. read more

Hollywood Candy - Candy Stores Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

Candy? - Yes please. Weird Candy collectables - Well yes again! We stumbled upon this place after hearing a kid on the street say " MOM! Please all the awesome candy is right down there!" You walk in the door and are greeted by The Blues Brothers statues. You then look around and take it in. Holy candy Heaven! The store is sublevel so when you walk in you can see forever in this magical candy land. In the back there is a malt shop and hidden areas. There is a game room and a small private movie theater you can rent. Then they have antiques and hidden corners to check out. Even though I bought only some Coffee Nut M&M I was really tempted to get the cricket candy. If you have the time go through and find something weird or different. I think some of those options are not available in normal convience stores anymore. read more

Great little store with so much to choose from! It's like taking a trip down memory lane.

Favorite place to visit in Old Market Omaha - I always find the unique, interesting, brand new, really old ("vintage!") or "somewhere in between" item here. Not just retro candy, marshmallow fluff, candy counter fresh chocolate (and other) candy, but this place still offers the "Fairmont Antiques" section of collectibles. Even just coming in here to browse is fun- troll dolls, retro Pez and lunchboxes (some on sale, others just display.) I really haven't even looked through the record section yet! I love that when you walk in...can't see the whole store. The place is a maze of vintage splendor. Keep walking. Turn. Hey! Watch your head. Circa 2014...they stocked a collection of classic Atari games and they happened to have the console too, complete with joysticks and paddles. We decided not to wait till we got home to see if it was working...we brought it over to Nebraska Furniture Mart and we all had a fun time connecting it to some of their largest screen TVs. Unfortunately they didn't have one adapter we needed so we couldn't find out till we got home. It worked! While we were sitting in the soda fountain area (retro diner with heavy nostalgia!), a man was heading to the back room to fix an arcade game and turns out he's an electrical engineer. So he opens up that little Atari console and reattaches a piece that'd been loose and causing a ruckus. I could go on and on. Year after year. In addition to candy - always leave here with a story and last year - with a hitchhiker! Bill Murray and I toured the bridges of Madison County on the road trip back to Chicago. In a strange turn of events...President Donald Trump troll will be flying to Phoenix this year! I'll balance things out with jelly bellies from their huge selection...in honor of one of the widely-agreed-upon GOAT presidents. Also this year...being stalked by these old school illuminated-Christmas-lawn-types. Do they fit in the overhead bin?! I feel another road trip coming on.... This isn't just a candy shop, soda fountain, small arcade, vintage consignment/collectibles...it's really part museum. I so appreciate this fun shop! read more

Hollywood Candy - Troll wall! - Candy Stores Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

This was a very interesting place - they sell vintage (actual vintage) metal-tin lunchboxes, have cool memorabilia hanging all around, bulk candy, and a little ice cream parlor in the back. The store itself is also connected to an antique store, so that was really cool to walk around in. Very cute old-school paintings and vintage Corelle dishes! Definitely a cool place to stop by to wander around and check out the goods - you might find some cool treasure to take back home with! +old-school metal tin lunchboxes read more

I definitely love the concept, and it's nice to be able to get some of my favorite retro candy. The Jelly Belly selection is amazeballs and the Banana Laffy Taffy in bulk is also a good thing. I wonder if the staff has too much time on their hands. They always seems inconvenienced when you need to check out. I guess it could just be the kids, and that's what you get with kids these days. I usually only stop in for the hard-to-find stuff since I can get the regular stuff anywhere. read more
