Gate City Candy Company

There is a new business downtown, Gate City Candy Company, located at 529 South Elm Street. It is located in the space recently occupied by Glitters.

All was quiet after hours when this photo was taken. However, by day, Dan Weatherington stays busy selling, restocking, and telling customers about his products. Opening a candy store has long been a dream of his. He likes the nostalgia factor, evoking memories of childhood vacations. The candy store store in downtown Lexington and the candy corner at Mast General Store in Winston-Salem have both built quite a following. If you visit Times Square in NYC, the M&M Candy Store is always busy. Speaking of M&Ms, Gate City Candy Company now has 18 flavors of M&Ms. 

Everybody likes candy and fudge. We predict this business will grow and grow. What is your favorite candy? Dan likes talking candy and would surely be interested in hearing about your favorites.

Hmmm! Let's see. I'm not sure if our candy choices are the same Janis but I am rather partial to M&M's ... 18 flavours you say?

I'd certainly stop in there.
