New Shop off Main Street Welcomes Your Sweet Tooth
Middletown, DE – Nestled just off Main Street in Middletown is a new shop with shelves on the walls holding rows of glass jars filled with colorful candy. This may be the type of place a dentist would recommend patients to avoid, but the sight of the gumdrops, jawbreakers, candy canes, and other candy delights may be too enticing to resist.
“We both had fond memories of candy stores in our childhood neighborhoods,” said Daneya Jacobs who owns Candy Connections with her husband, Anthony. “It was our hope to connect adults to similar childhood memories while giving children the opportunity to create ones of their own.”
Candy Connections opened its doors in early July. The storefront faces South Broad Street, but the store’s owners hope to cash in on the pedestrian traffic on Main Street.
