When we opened our second Yummy Treats location at Ontario Center, we knew it would be a little different from our Downtown Marion storeāand we LOVE that.
Ontario has given us the opportunity to dream bigger, invest more and create an entirely different candy-store experience. And weāre not done yet!
Our expansion is currently being built, and hereās just SOME of whatās coming:
š¦ A commercial kitchen
š„¤ Root b**r floats
š§ SLUSHIES!
š¬ Bulk candy like peach rings, gummy worms & more
š Pucker Bitsāsweet AND sour crunchy candy bits you can fill your own tubes with
š§ø Build-a-Stuffy, where youāll be able to choose, stuff and adopt your own new friend
š And, of course, MORE CANDY!
We have invested heavily into this location because we believe in continuing to make Yummy Treats better, more interactive and more FUN.
And something pretty special happened recently.
Sadly, another small candy business is closing its doors. They reached out to us about purchasing some of their equipment and inventory. While weāre sad to see another small business close, weāre incredibly grateful that they thought of Yummy Treats and gave us an opportunity to invest in our growth while helping them recoup some of their investment. ā¤ļø
Small businesses helping small businessesāthat means something to us.
It also brought back an idea Iāve talked about before: an Ohio Small Candy Store Trail.
Iād love to connect independent, mom-and-pop candy stores across Ohio with three locations or fewer and encourage people to visit ALL of us.
Because hereās the thing: another independent candy store isnāt necessarily our competition.
Your store probably carries things we donāt. We probably carry things you donāt. Thatās what makes visiting independent candy stores FUN! We each have our own personality, products and experiences.
So if you own a small independent candy store in Ohio and would like to be part of a future Small Candy Store Trail, reach out to us! š¬ Weād love to work together to help people discover more of Ohioās locally owned candy businesses.
Meanwhile, weāre going to keep investing, building and dreaming.
š Downtown Marion will always be our home base and Yummy Treats headquarters, with experiences unique to Marion.
𩵠Ontario Center is growing into something completely differentāand we cannot WAIT for you to see what weāre building.
Two stores. Two different experiences. One Yummy Treats. š
