Minnesota’s Largest Candy Store Will Close and Move Locations
I have been hearing about this giant candy store located in Jordan, Minnesota for years. I haven't been to it myself, but I have heard from so many people how great it is, and that I have to make a point to check it out.
The store is currently closed. Just temporarily, as a seasonal enterprise. The plan is to reopen as usual, and start getting ready for a move and rebuild of a new store. The new building will have the same iconic yellow color, and will still have almost every single candy known to man, but we will all have to wait quite awhile before we are able to enjoy everything new that the "Largest Candy Store" has to offer.
The move is happening because of a change to Hwy 169, and when that "improvement" happens, that would stop the direct access to the store from the highway. So, the decision was made to move the store.
From the Henderson Independent:
The new building plan is to about double what they currently have. The opening of the new building is planned for 2027.
When the store closes for the season in 2026, they will use the time to move from the current store to the new store. After the new store opens, is when I plan to check it out. I know the current location is iconic, and has been in business for over 50 years, but seeing the new store and what I imagine it can be might be worth the wait. But only because I haven't seen the current store yet. At least if you still want your candy fix from the current location, you will still be able to do that until at least the 2026 season.
