This place is a sugar rush delight!…read more As I saw billboards for it along the highway heading to my parents place in Ocala I had to experience it. My sister took me here and it did not disappoint. Pure nostalgia here at Grandpa Joe's. Reminded me of an old five and dime store with an awesome selection of candies and sweets from mt childhood. Along with a modern selection and all kinds of sodas and novelties to purchase. Candy cigarettes, Pop Rocks, Fun Dip, rock candy, Chick o Sticks, Pez, candy bars, Nik L Nips, old time gum brands, and so much more. Yes, its like being a kid in a candy store! Good prices and I walked out with a bag of sweets. Open late so after a few drinks or dinner at spots close by its located right in the square at the Ocala downtown entertainment district for an easy walk over. Friendly helpful people work here too. Oh, and they have a $5 candy buffet in the back of the place with a terrific selection to pack your box with.

So much fun and nostalgia here taking me back to my childhood day's. I just felt like some kind of…read moresilly going back in here today as it's been a while and I wanted some cheer. There is always something silly from chocolate dipped insects, dirty socks, pickled eggs, hot sauce, board games, specialty sodas and drinks, crazy jerky sticks like alligator, duck, wild boar and elk meat! Different pop corn flavors specialty candy bars, fudge and candy powders, the list goes on and as you can see toys too, it's just a crazy fun store!

Lots of items with names on them but not unusual names or spellings like the kiddies.

Lots of shells, Disney t shirts and shelves of items you'd probably buy for someone and it'll end up in some 2 nd hand shelf. I did buy a rubber chameleon for Bud to scare his mom, a small orange bouncy ball, violets candy, tin of mints that says alligator poop. Nice diversion to stretch your legs as you pass through Florida.

The lady at the register was so kind, helpful, and accommodating -- real Southern hospitality. The place has that "Old Florida" charm, full of nostalgia and memories of childhood road trips. Definitely a fun stop for all ages and a great spot to experience a bit of vintage Florida flavor.

The misty-eyed host wearing iconic ice cream parlor attire greeted me and rattled off the holiday discounts immediately setting the tone - it's like you're stepping into a place where sweetness and tradition meet. The vibrant Whirly Pops at the counter are like a candy store mascot, drawing you in with their oversized allure. And then the selection of classics, like Jelly Bellys, Candy Apples, Cotton Candy and M&Ms, immediately brought back a flood of childhood memories. It's like being transported back to simpler times when a bag of those candies felt like a real treasure. Miss Tilly's list of ice cream flavors sounded like a whole other adventure. Delicious titles begging for a taste test - Salted Caramel Praline, Razzle Dazzle, Coconut Almond, Espresso Chip, Candy Craze and Christmas Cookie. And with treats like Tiramisu Truffles, Rice Crispy Treats, Vanilla Cup Cakes, Chocolate Fudge and Gingerbread Bars, it's no wonder I felt that sugar coma coming on. How could anyone possibly choose just one or two when everything smells so good and reasonably priced? This place will really satisfy the sweet tooth of any candy enthusiast.

It was absolutely delightful speaking to and working with the two ladies working there today; especially since the gift box was put together and wrapped right there for me.
