"Candy is natures way of making up for Mondays." ~Unknown Author"…read more This is a fun candy shop! Kid's eyes light up when they go in, and even if you are not a kid, it is hard not to feel like one as you scan the huge assortment of candy on display. From nostalgic retro candy, to chocolate truffles, to the bins and bins of candy sold by weight it easy to get caught up in the fun. Parental guidance is suggested, however, when it comes to price. A couple of kids given free reign to filling their bags can easily set you back a semester or two of their college tuition! Your inner child will love the sugar shock, your adult self will experience the sticker shock! Overall a fun break if you are shopping at the outlet mall!

CANDYLAND! This…read morewould not normally be a stop for me but since I'm with my candy loving daughter... This store is all about sugar, so beware! If you can imagine it or remember it, they probably have it. I was really shocked when I looked on one of the lower shelves and noticed what looked like a raw nut mix. What?? That's a good start because parents need options. However, I am not going to purchase my nut mix at a candy store because I would be worried about freshness. People come in for candy so they aren't necessarily interested in nuts. Also, with them being located so low on the shelf they are probably rarely noticed. These factors mean that there is probably a slow turnover and less likely to be fresh. As you know, stale nuts are just not okay! I ended up purchasing hard candy for my daughter and chocolate for my husband. I did not purchase anything for myself because the chocolate in these stores is likely to be more processed, higher in sugar and not even close to fine chocolate which is my favorite. I tried the toffee and it was WAY too sweet so there is no way I could even approach that turtle, (my husband's personal favorite). Today is not about me, it is about my Boos and they get what THEY like. This store has a great selection for all candy lovers to explore. 8/10/16 Edit: I am browsing the fridge when I notice that my husband's candy is in there "chillin". A little chocolate sounds great so I go ahead and try a bit of that monster turtle even though I never eat them because they are usually sickeningly sweet. When I break a piece off, I notice that they were not stingy with the nuts. As I proceed to taste it, I am taken aback! It is actually very good an not too sweet all. I STAND CORRECTED! It was the perfect bit, smooth delicious, lightly sweetened chocolate with a generous supply of pecans. Perfect!! I will definitely purchase this treat again on my next visit. I highly recommend this turtles, you won't be disappointed!

I bought a piece of dark chocolate pretzel and a bag of chocolate raisins. Everything was fresh and delicious. It was a bit sweet at first, but after a few pieces, it was just right.

Used to be a great and varied superior chocolate offering, colorful and joyful and definitely part of the holiday experience. Now "tastes waxy and off" as another contributor noted. 2nd Essentially they ran a very poorly worded "give away" that lists one of the prizes to be picked up in store as a $60 I store credit, but in reality when we went the person behind the counter told us it was only good online, this after he stepped away to call "someone" to get clarification. 3rd the service the last few times we were in there were lacking much in the way of friendliness or helpfulness. Sad to see a once enjoyable experience be lost.

Wilkes Meat Market does things the right way--the old-school way--which is how a butcher shop…read moreshould be. I've been going to different Wilkes locations on occasion for about a decade, and while you'll pay more than you would at a grocery store, you're also getting better quality and service. They cut meat properly, they know what they're doing, and they carry a few house-made sides. Not all of them hit, but when they do, they're solid. The real gem? The little barbecue sandwiches. Pulled pork with a sauce that leans sweet but has just enough of a kick to keep it interesting. They wrap them up in Hawaiian rolls and sell them for about a dollar each. Grab a few, pull a Topo Chico out of the cooler, and you've got a lunch I'd eat any day. If you appreciate a real butcher shop, this is the place.

STEP IT UP PLEASE! I…read morereally don't understand modern embroidery shops because everything just looks so cheap and junior like I am stepping into candy land. Somehow I thought that this one would be different and carry more mature and tasteful items. I love the idea of having items monogrammed and wanted to see what they had to offer and I was rather disappointed. The best way to experience this type of shop is just to purchase something of quality elsewhere and have it monogrammed here. I always think that is great to add a personal monogram to your child's favorite items such as clothing, gymbags, electronic gear covers, and more to make them extra special. Also if they have a unique name like mine, it is also nice to have it monogrammed on certain items. As a child, it was very rare to see my name, (correctly spelled) on anything, but when I did find it, I was elated! This store did have great souvenir t-shirts and gave me some ideas for a specific wedding gift.
