We were walking down the…read moremain Street in Roswell and we had already purchased a couple sodas and candies from a few of the other stores we had shopped at , so since the signs said everything must go we made sure to stop in here as well . Obviously it was a little empty inside and we just didn't find anything that we wanted. This ceiling was cool though, decorated with lights and such. If you're interested in shopping here, I suggest you come soon!

We came hoping maybe they would have classic soda fountain and even though they didn't have one we…read morestill left super happy. It's located on Main Street right across from the UFO museum and a cold drink was an attractive temptation on a hot day. Luana is a gem and knows a lot of local history. The coolest thing we found here was an original ink drawing of the Eddie Macias mural at invasion station. Luana was selling it at cost and went through the extra trouble or shipping into me, much appreciated! Very happy I could have such a unique souvenir of our Roswell trip. They have rare sodas and a bottle opener right at the front. They also have a lot of odd and unique candy including a wall of cotton candy cryptid "poop" on the left. The kids loved the bad of yeti poop I grabbed for them. They have posters and postcards up front with lore Eddie Macias art. I love local flavors like this and ended up with a full set of postcards, my favorite is the alien Aztec postcard!

Popcorn Alley is great…read more I can't remember how long this place has been around, but it's an absolute staple for this dusty southeast New Mexico town. The main reason I am writing this review is so that you'll hopefully support yet another local Hobbs business. They need you now more than ever. If popcorn or candy is your craving, they have it. They have some fairly nostalgic candy including my guilty pleasure: Watermelon Laffy Taffy. Shhhhh.... Plus many tin-canned candy items & other unique affordable gifts. For popcorn, they offer a plethora of flavors. Some are seasonal. Here are just a few: + Banana + Blueberry + Bubble Gum + Butter + Caramel + Caramel/Green Apple + Caramel w/Peanuts + Caramel w/Pecans + Cheese + Cherry + Chicago (a cheddar & caramel blend) + Cinnamon Toast + Coconut + Confetti + Cotton Candy + Cranberry + Cranberry w/Craisins + Cranberry/Green Apple + Dill Pickle + Eggnog + Flaming Queso + Grape + Green Apple + Jalapeño Cheese + Lemon + Luna's Cheese Sizzler (it's a local Mexican restaurant) + Orange Brandy + Maple + Marshmallow + Nutmeg + Peppermint + Piña Colada + Pistachio + Pumpkin + Pralines & Cream + Red Hot Cinnamon + Tropical Fruit Punch + Twix + Watermelon They seem to advertise & provide updates mostly from their Facebook account: https://www.facebook.com/Billyjoeschnaubert As of November 25, 2022, they have new holiday tins out. The tins come with caramel, cheese, and butter popcorn - or you may request a single flavor. Their "popcorn towers" are a unique gift which come in different flavors than the tins. Just ask for assistance. They are happy to help! Who wants to try all those flavors with me?! Lol... TIP + My favorite part about this place... they have a great fundraising opportunity. Fifty percent of profits go to your organization. #HolidayShopping #ShopLocal #HobbsNM #PopcornAlley #popcorn #candy

The biggest problem was the lady working there today 3/17/22 early afternoon. My 11 year old son asked her if they had any fudge and she said that they did but it had walnuts. He was thinking about whether he wanted some or not since it had nuts. She rudely said "you either want some or you don't. It's a simple question." Thankfully I just told my family we were leaving and we walked out. I know if I had said something I would have used some choice words I wouldn't want to say in front of my kids. I realize it's hard to find good help but this witch has no business working anywhere she has to deal with customers.

Grizzly Bear's Fudge Factory is yet another gem in Carlsbad, New Mexico…read more I rushed my daughters in here from a dust storm on 4.18.2025. I thought a lemonade or limeade would help keep our minds off of powerful wind gusts and blinding sand on the way back home about 70 miles away. My only regret was not picking up some fudge. My girls wanted a salty snack in some cheese popcorn. I guess I was stressed about the drive... rightly so. This is the same storm that literally ripped pieces of my roof off. *sigh* Three drinks and a bag of popcorn was about $21. For a limeade, my youngest daughter and I recommend the Carlsbad Sunrise (peach, pina colada, & watermelon). For a lemonade, my oldest daughter and I recommend the Summer Days (red raspberry, peach, & watermelon). There will be pulp. And seeds. And fresh fruit thrown in your drink. Made fresh in the store! Amazing service. Clean and tidy inside. Drive-thru available!

Dulceria Cosmos is a brand new Mexican candy store in Hobbs, New Mexico…read more Their grand opening was February 1, 2024. Their daily hours are from 10:30AM-8PM. When my daughter and I walked in on the afternoon of 2/10/2024, we were not welcomed. None of the 3 employees smiled at us. No music was playing. We were never asked if we needed help. Then two groups walked in after us and were quickly greeted and music was turned on. It really ticked me off. Then my daughter started picking out candy and showing me. One employee followed us and watched us like a hawk. It was very uncomfortable. I told my daughter to put the candy back because I didn't feel welcome there & we walked out. The candies were mostly of the Mexican variety and in bulk packaging. Most likely unbeknownst to them, I grew up eating much of the items they sold, but I have no problem walking out when I am not welcome. There weren't many supplies except some party favors, piñatas, and balloons. This is a brand new store so it was very clean with ample parking in a plaza lot. According to their Facebook page, a snack bar con elote en vaso, fresas con crema, y elote entero is "coming soon." Hope you receive better service than we did.

Ozzy Osbourne and other "hard rock" was blasting in the store although the one staff present was an older lady. We found that quirky and adorable. The clothing here was a mix of old and new. Most of the "better" items were at the far right in a separate section with higher prices which I thought was absolutely justified. The other clothing on offer was pretty dated and/or worn, but would definitely work for the prices if a person was in need of clothing. They had some pretty cute shoes and small home items. I found a ton of great books at VERY low prices making the stop well worth my time. I can't wait to start digging through my finds.
