I've been to the Freeport store a couple of times now and I feel my review is solid, not based on a one time visit.
First, so many different types of licorice! The staff has always explained or offered to explain the different kinds (sweet, classic, salty, and something saltier). I've really expanded my list of licorice favorites!
Second, the variety! There's got to be close to 100 bins of sweet, sour, chocolate, and licorice to choose from. Each time I pop in, there's a handful of new ones to try.
Third, and most importantly to me, service! All the candy bins are marked with allergens, if they're gluten free, and have flags stickers indicating the country it's from, and I've been greeted each time. Sometimes, I get directed to the bags while the staff goes about helping others or checking them out at the little register. The staff seems well informed about the candy.
If you're looking for a great candy experience, I highly recommend either location but I prefer Freeport! read more
