My husband and I went down to Wholesale Candy World on a Friday afternoon. It was tough to find…read moretime to go, as it is in a warehouse district nowhere near my daily route, and it is not open on nights or weekends. We were searching for some retro candy for an upcoming event. The warehouse isn't huge, but it is big for a candy store. It is really for buying cases of bulk candy. It is not a cutely displayed vintage candy store, but it also does not claim to be. It was a really good place to get the bulk of the candy we needed for the event. Everything was sold in large amounts. We picked up some items such as jawbreakers, candy cigarettes, Big League Chew, and Now and Laters. I did wish some times came in more of a variety pack and that others came in slightly smaller portions. We did decide to buy some of the items elsewhere because we simply didn't want that much of one flavor of a certain type of candy. I think it is a great place to buy candy in bulk, though I do think the variety could be a bit better. All in all, it was a useful trip for us to prepare for our event.

The decorations out front of the store front are really cute too and very creative. Once inside, you grab a basket to do all the bulk candy of your choice, and they have every single flavor and everything you ever want.

He didn't charge me for a couple of pieces that I had gotten, and I thought that was really nice of him. All in all the candy that I chose was fresh, tasty, and I enjoyed the adventure of going through the store to pick out what I wanted. I will definitely return.

CANDY FOR ALL (3.75 stars)…read more All kinds of candy. Oldskool candy, newskool candy, and freaky-deaky candy. When there is a popular event happening downtown... okay; maybe that once a year event happening downtown (ComicCon) this place was packed with people for some reason even though there was nothing "ComicCon" about it. Maybe it's not the usual bar or restaurant in Gaslamp that intrigued people to come in. I went in because I simply love candy and wanted to see what they have. To my surprise... they had "a variety"... will leave that up to your imagination.

My family was excited to attend a signing event at IT'SUGAR during San Diego Comic-Con, especially…read moreafter spending over $400 in the store. Unfortunately, my experience was overshadowed by the way Kyle treated me. I was there with my 5 yr old and 8 yr old children and it was upsetting that this interaction happened in front of them. I was waiting for the signing and needed directions about where to go and what to do. Instead of providing clear guidance, Kyle gave me multiple different directions and was r, which left me confused and stressed about missing the event. When I asked for clarification, his tone came across as rude and dismissive rather than helpful. What made the experience even more disappointing was that he was noticeably kind and friendly to my husband but his attitude toward me felt completely different towards me. As a customer, I expected to be treated with the same level of courtesy and respect no matter what gender. Comic-Con is already a hectic environment, and customers rely on staff to help make these special events enjoyable. Instead, this interaction added unnecessary frustration and took away from what should have been a fun family memory. After spending more than $400 and looking forward to the signing, I left feeling disappointed by the customer service. After the confusion, I spoke with the actor and got my figure signed. They acknowledged that things were confusing and said something along the lines of, "Sorry for the confusion," and explained that things were a bit weird with how everything was being handled. Their kindness and willingness to explain stood in stark contrast to the experience I had with Kyle. Although thats not the interaction I was hoping for with the actress. I would have preferred a joyful meet and greet autograph as opposed to an awkward apology from the actress, who was lovely. I hope management addresses this so future customers are treated consistently and respectfully, especially when families with young children are involved.
