Today we made a small road trip to Jordan, MN to the biggest candy store in MN. It was about ten minutes down the road. The structure was bright yellow and built from some arched metal buildings linked together. I would say Quonset huts, but I think these were a bigger, possibly farm-related relative of the Quonset hut.
They boasted 114 varieties of root beer. There were also a variety of imported foods and specialty items to tempt even those folks lacking a sweet tooth.
We couldn't resist some of them.
All the kids got a buck to spend on whatever candy they selected. They were very selective.
We steered them away from some of the grosser stuff, but there was plenty to tempt kids of all ages.
We found some Dutch cookies and imported German candy bars that begged to be taken home.
We also picked out some boxed candies for movie night tomorrow. It was a fun trip to the candy store!
The only problem we had was in the decor. They had a stuffed bear head (that did not look real to an adult) that moved and chatted. My three year old grandson was pretty distressed that he was stuck in the wall and we couldn't help get him down, like he was asking. I'm sure it was motion activated, but the bear asked for help and I spent a lot of time explaining that it was a joke, a machine, not real. I have some very compassionate grands!
