1385 N. Main St, Walnut Creek
A new candy store called The Candy Counter is coming to downtown Walnut Creek this November on N. Main St. (across from CREAM) where the eyeglass store The Art and Science of Eyewear used to be. They plan on selling bulk candy by the pound and bars as well. I’m imagining something like Powell’s in Lafayette without the ice cream. I look forward to checking this place out!
From their Facebook page:
The Candy Counter is a family operated business run by Mark, Carol, Meghan and Laura Sherry. The goal of the store was to help create a future for Meghan and Laura. By starting our own Business we are able to secure jobs for both girls as long as the store remains open. When thinking of a potential business adventures we considered a few things. The first is what we wanted to do, what would make us happy and what we had a passion for. Meghan loves candy and suggested the idea. We then looked around Walnut Creek and soon realized that there were no good candy stores in the area that sell a wide variety of bulk candy, and from that point on, we launched our adventure and have since been working towards building our dream candy store.
