1683 N. California Blvd, Walnut Creek
Yesterday I noted that a new candy store called The Candy Counter is coming soon to downtown Walnut Creek on N. Main St. and now another candy store called Kandyland is opening in downtown Walnut Creek next to The Counter restaurant on N. California Blvd. Judging by the reference in their website to Print Cates who has been involved with Powell’s I’m wondering how this will differ from Powell’s. Note that this is in the Mercer apartment complex where so many salons are located.
From their website:
Our Kandy Kaptain, Krystle, has always loved all things sweet and sparkly!
Krystle’s passion for Kandy and glam began like most people as a child.
Krystle’s sugary dreams have inspired her to embark on her own Kandy Kareer!
She decided in May to attend the Sweets & Snacks Expo in Chicago. It was
there that she heard about real life “Willy Wonka,” Print Cates.
Our Kandy Kaptain immediately turned on her Kandy Radar, and located
Mr. Wonka in San Francisco. Lollipops and sparkles ensued, and before
you know it our Kandy Kaptain had found her Kandy “Print”ce! Kurrently both
are heavily involved in the Konstruction and Opening processes of Kandyland.
The Sparkle and Glamour will arrive winter 2013.
Current thoughts are to open a flagship store and then subsequent corporate
stores. The “K” in Kandyland of Kourse arrives from our Kandy Kaptain,
Krystle’s own unique spelling of her name. The “K” theme is Karried throughout
Kandyland…and we just decided anything we wanted to spell with a “K”…
…we would!
