The store is huge and they have a big selection of chocolates, ice cream, jelly beans, brittles with various nuts, etc. In addition to their own brand, they have Whitmans and my favorites, Millionaires. One room has a lot of overstock stuff at discounted prices, so if you don't mind Easter and Valentine's chocs in December, there are bargains there. Definitely a place to take your houseguests.

Also a large sugar-free section.

Actually Whitman's is owned by Russell Stover. FYI :)

I was wondering if they had sugar-free candy there.
Thanks for the informative post.

Yea, it’s just a store but they only sell candy. Probably one of the biggest that you’ll see for 100 miles around.

Yep, it’s like being a kid in a ... oh, wait. *Just* like that!

Inhaling causes me to gain 5 pounds. Fortunately, it’s not just around the corner, so I don’t get there often.

I was told by employee that most of their candy is from Texas.

That’s a possibility, that’s where I live now, & I did see a big Russell Stover building here just south of Ft. Worth but I don’t know if it’s a warehouse or a candy factory! Wouldn’t surprise me. I never looked at the wrapper to see where it was made.

They also have the BEST Carmel apples.

Check for cvs, Walgreen. Publix, winn Dixie buy one get one sales. Much cheaper than the Russell Stover store.
