    I love the idea of this store! This store is called the "Nation's Only Historic Candy Store" & is…read moreowned by Susan Benjamin. She is a renowned candy historian. After entering, we received a warm welcome and began perusing the candies and treats. They were organized by time period and some interesting information was posted nearby and/or on the individual item. There were also gift sets. Some of the items were quite dusty and seemed as if they had been there for some time. A lot of the items were things that can be purchased in Cracker Barrel or in other old-timey candy stores elsewhere. They offer modern candy as well, but overall, I was underwhelmed. I was quite surprised to see historic candies so full of artificial dyes. That was an eye opener. I was kind of surprised at the signage throughout the store. The signs seemed basic when considered all the endorsements that the store has. Maybe the signs were made to look less modern. I didn't end up purchasing anything but was glad to visit.

    I bookmarked this shop when I saw their entry on Atlas Obscura. Unlike many of the other ice cream…read moreand candy shops in Harpers Ferry (which were doing tremendous business on this hot afternoon), this one is focused on more historic treats. The candy of old. Part museum and part sweet shop, they have displays showing the candies through the ages, from native American hickory bark to 1900 toys and food items behind glass. It was tough to limit our purchase as we saw so many "must have" items. In the end, we got our bill down to under $30 and just got four different things including some chocolate covered almonds for me (vacation food!) and both ginger and licorice for Mrs. K. Note that True Treats Candy is not handicapped accessible. The entrance is a somewhat steep set of stairs. They might have a rear entrance, probably just ask.

Also a pretty incredible soda wall in the back of unique and novelty flavors. Unfortunately the soda is not only on the back wall, but on the bottom shelves all along the back of the store. My 4 year old accidentally bumped into one as she was walking and it fell, didn't break, but the top came off and spilled. I jokingly said she owed me as in now had to pay for that bottle as I assumed they would simply write it off like most businesses would when there's an accidental break. Instead one of the workers simply said "yeah you do!" in an extremely entitled and rude manner. Perhaps she was an owner, I have no idea. She disappeared and we never saw her again. We were them forced to pay for the soda. We were discounted 50% but it's still ridiculous. Maybe don't put bottles on the bottom shelf where little kids can easily bump into them. Especially in a CANDY STORE WHERE YOUR MAIN AUDIENCE IS KIDS. The worker did apologize for having to charge us, but she apparently texted the owners and was told to do so...

The display had fire items such as hot gummies and hot challenges. The display also had ice items such as candy snow! The store looks like a candy emporium with candy EVERYWHERE! They even have a flavored soda wall! Every display in here looked amazing. The highlight to this place is the back of the store. They have a build your own candy bucket and each piece of candy you get ranges in cheap prices! We are talking candy by the cents! If your in Lititz check this place out!

    I recently participated in Georgie Lou's Retro Candy's 6th Annual Sweetheart Stroll, and while this…read moremay have been their sixth time hosting it, it was my first time even hearing about it. I immediately corrected that mistake by buying a ticket the moment I saw the event posted--and then started counting down the days. The concept alone sold me: a ticketed, adults-focused stroll through downtown Carlisle, with participating small businesses offering tastings, experiences, treats, and deals. Sweethearts of all kinds were welcome--couples, besties, gal pals--and dressing in red and pink for Valentine's vibes was strongly encouraged. Say less. Ticketing was super easy, and Georgie Lou's did a fantastic job with pre-event communication, especially via social media. One post in particular deserves a shout-out: a reminder to bring a bag to carry your treats. This is something I absolutely would not have thought about until I was awkwardly shoving sweet treats into my coat pockets. I came prepared with a small reusable shopping bag (pink, obviously), and by the end of the stroll it was completely full of sweets, trinkets, and purchases. Meanwhile, others were struggling with overflowing pockets alongside gloves, hats, maps, and life regrets. Lesson learned. Excellent advice! I found parking around 1pm and headed to Georgie Lou's to check in and grab my materials. The staff were incredibly friendly, checked my name off the list, and sent me on my way with a Map of Hearts, a button identifying me as an official 2026 Sweetheart Stroller, and a small sweet treat to kick things off. I also took some time to explore the shop itself--my first visit--and wow! They have managed to pack an impressive amount of nostalgic goodness into a small space. Total blasts from the past, plus candies I'd never seen before. Super fun shop! From there, the stroll itself was a delight. Georgie Lou's clearly put a lot of care into coordinating participating businesses, and it showed. Most spots offered sweet treats, discounts, or special offerings, but every single business was warm, welcoming, and happy to have folks stopping in. Even though I've done a few downtown Carlisle walk-style events before, I still discovered shops I'd never been in--and every purchase I made that day was from a place I was visiting for the first time. That alone feels like a win. Overall, this was a fantastic way to spend a few hours on a very chilly January Saturday. It got me out of the house, walking downtown, supporting local businesses, and discovering gems I usually zoom past while driving from Point A to Point B. I had such a great time that I jokingly asked if I could pre-register for next year... apparently that's "not a thing yet." Fine. I'll wait. :) This has officially been added to my annual tradition list. Great event, great execution, great vibes. Well done, Georgie Lou's!

    After five years, my wife and I finally paid a visit to this unque museum/candy store…read more This museum has over three thousand toy elephants of different sizes from other parts of the world on display. It is my understanding they have been in business for almost four decades The elephants are on display in glass display cases in the back of the store. There is full sized animated elephant outside in front of the store. It provides a great photo opportunity for the little ones The store is chock full of candy, ranging from hard candy to chocolate covered raisins, peanuts and just about everything in between. The candy and chocolates are sold prepackaged and loose for added convenience, as well as offering candy dispensers. They offer nostalgic candies as well, such as candy sticks and candy buttons on paper strips. At the front counter, they also offer store made fudge and chocolates. The store is packed tight with all kinds of candies and novelties. The parking lot is small and can easily get full during busy times such as weekends and warmer weather. There are restrooms in the rear of the store. I definitely recommend this store especially for young families and those young at heart.

    This business presents itself as a family-friendly destination, but that was not my experience…read more Parents should be aware that pride-themed displays and flags were prominently featured throughout the store, which some families may find inconsistent with the atmosphere they are seeking for their children. In addition, the candy products I purchased appeared stale, which was disappointing. The store also contains a large amount of candy, snacks, and other junk food throughout the premises, creating a strong temptation for children at every turn. Families should consider these factors when deciding whether this establishment aligns with their preferences and expectations.
