We stopped at Minnesota’s Largest Candy Store on the way to our trial early Saturday morning. The place is usually packed but since it is closed at that time of day, we had the exterior to ourselves. Emma stopped here once, and two years ago, Bailie and Olivia stopped. This year it is time for Nelson and me to check it out. Mom says they have added a lot of 3D artwork. Let’s check it out!
Normally, Mom would want to go in and buy a lot of stuff. Now that she doesn’t eat refined sugar, going in the store is not necessary. It would still be interesting, though, because they have a lot of candy from the olden days which is fun and brings back memories.
This big mural in the middle of the one side of the store is fun cartoony. We didn’t realize why it is there until we read the incident report. Mom then remembered hearing about it when the crash happened.
Here is the mural, which is in 3D and kind of fun to look at. The candy store doesn’t have a website or anything, but everyone knows about the place. People post about it all the time on social media giving them some free advertising.
Yikes, this little lady coming out of the door is trying to shoot me with her bow and arrow. Even in the early morning hours, it can be a dangerous place, I guess! The ground is also painted with big 3D cartoon characters but a photo didn’t really work from the angles we could shoot it.
Finally, who would love a Jelly Belly? I would love a belly rub, but I think I may be falling in love with my new Jelly Belly buddy. Hope you enjoyed our little tour of the exterior of this store. We loved finding the new things they have to take fun photos with!

we wonder who was the driver of that car…. maybe it was da greedy Nelly? indognito?
Some guy who got into some big trouble!
Great photos. What a cool spot!!! Mom admires that your Mom gave up sugar- wow! Have a great day. your friends Lilly and Chester
She says she gave up everything she loved eating. It was hard the first month or so but now she doesn’t crave things and eating is no longer something she loves, it is something she does to survive but if it keeps her healthier, it is worth it. A plant based diet is nothing she ever imagined going on, but after lot of research she decided it would be a good thing.
Very cool.
It’s a very odd and amazing place.
What a great mural and my mom would love to go inside that store!
It truly is amazing and there is nothing like it anywhere else!
What “sweet” photos!
LOL, good one!
What a sweet spot for a photo op! XOXO Sparkle
They have fun stuff there!
Wow, what a story. I’m glad no one was hurt though. Love the mural. It’s perfect for what happened.
I used to keep a jar of Jelly Belly’s on my desk when I was working. Yummy.
Thank you for joining the Awww Mondays Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Awww Monday and week. Scritches to all the furbabes. ♥
At first we wondered what that mural had to do with the store and why someone put a paper in the middle of it. Then Mom read it and it all made sense. Great idea to remember an accident that could have been much worse.
WOW the owners have a wonderful sense of humor with the painting…and very bright and cherry colors.
There were tons of chocolate drops….falling from the sky.
Great photos

What a fun place to stop for a photoshoot!!

It is really fun since they added all the new things.
Yay to your Mom for choosing a healthy diet. Don’t need refined sugars when there are so many great fruit that are just as sweet.
She has always loved fruit and eats so much of it in the summer.
That is quite the candy store and what a story about that car crash. We sure enjoyed the photos!
Thank you. It is an interesting place.
That’s a fun store, they have a sense of humor!
It is all about the fun and candy at that place. Very interesting store.
Great photo shoot with the pups. I’m sure Nelson enjoyed the outing.
He got a bit bored with being in the car so much, but he did well.
