The sign of goodness.
Brian P.

From an era where tailfinned cars dripping with chrome oozed down the streets of Ohio's capital city, this survivor beckons. A true nut and candy shop, from its neon sign with the Planters Peanut logo to the fryers cooking hot peanuts, cashews, etc..., heck, even the aroma as you walk in the doors alerts patrons that they have hit pay dirt. Attentive staff behind glass counters weigh out the exact amount you want of nuts, candies, seasonal items, whatever. They also can prepare gift baskets. Sometimes, fresh popped popcorn is available. This is the kind of store Marty McFly went into and asked for a Whatchamacallit in 1955 Hill Valley in a scene that should have been in Back to the Future. This is the type of small business we had better hold onto, so go in, buy loads of stuff, tip well. And then, like the old shampoo bottles advised, repeat. I understand they also ship, and they recently had curbside service run-out-to-the-car because the never ending construction of the metropolis blocked their entrances for a long while. I was worried they'd disappear, but they only redoubled their efforts to serve a hungry public. Go nuts!

What a cute little shoppe! In addition to the Planters sign outside, there is quite a bit of memorabilia inside, as well, that shares space with several large cases full of goodies, with a definite focus on candies and nuts! They have both a front and back door, which were both open and creating some nice ventilation on our visit. While there was plenty to consider, we ended up going with a 1/4 lb each of the Brazil nuts (very good), the filberts (a touch salty, but otherwise tasty), the pecans (excellent), and the cinnamon almonds (crunchy with a great cinnamon flavor). Service was fast and efficient - though they had a nice little line going, it moved quickly. It was fun to look around at the other items in the store and in their outside window too. Parking - it's downtown, of course, so it's pretty much parking garages or meters, or park elsewhere and walk, which is what we opted to do.

OG sign , don't listen to big Corp, keep that sign up!

Well, I walked in because I was trying to get out of the rain and maybe grab some candy . OMG !!! what I embarked on was a true time warp gem . Teagan happened to be working and wow did I get more knowledge and a great treat of a story than any candy in this shop . Turns out in the 1930s there happened to be over 300 planters peanuts shops operating. Columbus had theirs in 1936. Now a days there only 12 left , Standard Brands bought out the Planters name. And they closed all the stores except the 12. Mike & Patty worked here at this Columbus one since 1972 and worked handing out peanuts on the street . Also as far as peanut shops , Ohio has the the most peanut shops, a whopping 3! Planters is now owned by Kraft foods. Patty one of the owners of this shop along with her husband Mike. Patty is one knowledgeable lady , she found the roasting manuals quite some years back and learned how to roast the nuts by herself! Teagan , the kind sales person was working on my visit and soooooooo amazingly kind & knowledgeable helped me choose a snack , can you guess ? Fresh Roasted Peanuts nice an warm. Bummer they didn't have any cheese balls. Those are always yummy. Oh, Another interesting fact was that "Planters" started as one Italian immigrant with a dream started a peanut push cart in New York and named it Planters to sound more american. Way to shoot for the stars!

creepy one-eyed peanut sleeps with one eye open

Awesome little place to pick up candies or nuts, especially around the holidays. Turtles are fresh and delicious!

Friendly staff and tasty nuts. Worth a look if you are in the area. I liked the cinnamon pecans and chocolate covered peanuts.

That's why I flipped out when I realized the giant Planter's Peanut sign on High St.

Buckeye Candy Company has 29 reviews, 28 of them are 5 stars. There's a good reason for this…read more It's a great candy store that's filled full of almost every kind of sweets and chocolates you can imagine from, hard to find, to retro and imports. What are some of my favorite chocolate bars that I found? Aero Zagnut Clark Heath Zero Chik 'O Stix Curly Whirly Skor (I just wish they'd carry Roshen brand, from Ukraine. One of the "hidden gems" in the chocolate world). Anyways, it's a great specialty shop to explore for yourself. You'll find many of your old favorites and maybe something new to try. 5 stars And Here's Another Morsel For You To Nibble On: * Use your Yelp check-in to get a 10% discount. * Wanting a gift for someone? How about getting them a selection of unusual chocolate bars? * They also have an interesting selection of sodas. * Be sure to check out their markdown section for some great deals!

I haven't updated since they moved? Well, they moved, down the street a bit, into the old Swan…read moreCleaners. About 4 times as big, still stuffed with good things. Nostalgic candy, the latest TikTok trends, imports, seasonal, etc. Right now a lot of fun Christmas things. Raindeer poop gummies, old-fashioned ribbon candy, and much more. Plus some pop, fudge, bulk stuff, and a clearance table. Fun place, nice owners, astonishing assortment of treats.
