UPDATED REVIEW Prices seem to have gone up considerably since our last visit. Even their close-out items don't seem to be priced any lower than what you might see at one of the big-box stores. They do offer a nice selection of snack size portions which is a plus but for peanuts,cashews or most other types of nuts,know your prices before you venture out to Elgin. read more

I love this store! Today I was in the area and made a stop. I got a huge bag for $14. Everytime you go there are different items in their discount area. Some times there is alot and other times not so much. They have samples that you can try before buying which is nice. Today they had big bags of m&m like candies for $3.00 buy one get one free. They had actual mini m&ms for $4 a big bags. S'more trail mix and more. They had big bags of pastel m&ms from Easter. Carrot cake trail mix most like from Easter too. You can grind your own peanut butter. They have nuts and candies that are not all that discounted as well. Gift items etc. Senior day is Tuesday and you get 10% off. It's worth a perk on if you are in the area. It's clean and staff is friendly! read more

I heard about the Fisher Nuts Store from some coworkers who rave about the products here. I specifically stopped in to make my own peanut butter and was pleasantly surprised by how many products they had! At the "grind your own nut butter" station, they had four nut options: peanuts, carob peanuts, almonds, and cashews. The process was easy to add the nuts, turn the machine on, and put your preferred amount into a container to take home. I also was able to get some fresh honey from Wisconsin. I wish they had an option for a reuseable container but pricing is dependent on weight. Both my peanut butter and honey was just over $8 which I thought was a very fair price. Tip: Their samples are back so be sure to try some of the free tasters. read more

Hidden Gem. Large selection of nuts, candies, baking ingredients (sprinkles, colored sugar, cookie mix ins). Honestly the prices on retail candy, bulk chocolates and regular retail packages of nuts were not exceptional but the real bargains are in the larger packages of seasonal items, nuts, candy, trail mix, packages snacks, in the back of the store. 42 oz of maple rosemary roasted almonds for $3!! Wow! 15 ounces of chocolate covered dried blueberries or 42 oz of dark chocolate, nut and fruit trail mix for $5!!! Again, wow. They have a wall of samples so you can taste the things they're selling in bulk before you buy. There's plenty of free parking, Tuesday Senior discounts 10% off or you can sign up for monthly email newsletter with coupons. Bathrooms were also very clean. Will definitely be back! read more

Fisher Nuts Store - Big haul for only $35! - Candy Stores Near Me - Elgin, Illinois

Good selection of items and the store is clean. Usually the workers are friendly when you check out. Today, not so much. Neither of them could bother looking up at me or saying hello. I was told the total and I thanked her and no response... they don't understand how just even a smile at a customer can go a long way. I'm sure my review won't matter one way or another but sharing my experience. I will continue going to a new local shop that opened up last year. read more

Better prices than QVC for same products and lots of variety available. Nice staff. Clean. Also has bags for wildlife feeding at times.

I am never in Elgin, but if you're there, worth a stop. Many of the candies, etc. aren't theirs (there's a lot of Albanese gummy candy and a selection of Jelly Bellies, for example). I was going to skip grinding my own nut butter, but they had a mix of peanuts and butterscotch chips and I couldn't skip that. There are free samples (lined up along the wall facing the parking lot when I was there, in little dispensers), and the bargains are in the back along that same wall (cheap honey roasted peanuts! Big bags of mixed nuts with the occasional stray M&M). Other than the bargain area, prices are pretty much what you'd find anywhere. Not that I've ever found butterscotch peanut butter anywhere else... Senior discount day is Tuesday. read more

If you haven't been there it's a must go. Lots of great deals and if you are looking for old time candy you will find it. Give it a try!

I've the years is driven by but never stopped in. They have a remarkably varied selection and some really good deals in the back area on mostly larger sized bags of nuts, trail mixes, salad toppings, etc. The dispensers near the front of the store provide samples of some featured items so you can taste before you buy. There are some nice nut items that are great to use in making granola, cookies, and so forth. It's worth taking a few minutes to check it out if you're in the area. I've gotta say, like Costco, it's easy to go in and leave with much more than you intended to buy, so beware. read more

I don't get out to Elgin often, but when I do I like to stop in. Plenty of candies, nuts, and trail mixes. For the large bagged items, if you aren't sure if you will like something they let you sample the item. Prices are cheaper than at the grocery store. Some unique items as well. Located right off I-90 and Randall road makes it convenient to get to! read more

I took a client to the doctor in Elgin. I found this wonderful store called Fisher Nuts. Guys you have to go there if you ever get to Elgin. Everything you could imagine to do with nuts, candy, dried fruit... it's unimaginable what is in the store. I will bring my grandkids back here when they visit. 5 Stars from me!!! Service was great! Ambiance was great. Store is clean and organized. read more

Fisher Nuts Store - Picture of store. - Candy Stores Near Me - Elgin, Illinois

This is such a hidden gem. Not just the main retail area, which has great deals, but the bargains in a room off to the left of the lobby - I found so much in there!! I spent a LOT on nuts and I will be going back at Christmas to buy nuts to send to my brither read more

I visit frequently to purchase nuts for outside animals. It is hit or miss when they are available. They do have good deals in reworked nuts. Good store for buying chocolate gifts for neighbors kids. read more

Such a good variety of candy for any sweet tooth. I have a huge nut allergy but I wouldn't skip out on this place because it's not just about nuts. I was able to get some gummies I could only dream about getting in other stores. This store is great for any sweet pallets. The service was good and fast. The store was mostly full of old people that looked like they enjoyed life. Made the ambience of a quiet candy store with delicious treats just that much greater. Will be coming again. read more

Fisher Nuts Store - This is it. It looks like a warehouse, but it's a candy and nut outlet store. - Candy Stores Near Me - Elgin, Illinois

I have been to this store many times, but they are undergoing remodeling and the inventory and selections are very limited. The clearance section is now located in a separate area. They have lots of nuts, salad toppers, and candies. The remodeling definitely impacts the variety of offerings and experience. Service was good, but not the same experience due to remodeling. read more

This is a fun shop to drop in on particularly for any nut lover.  This is also a retail shop that looks to be located at their corporate HQ/warehouse.  There is something for everyone here with a lot of nutty varieties and flavorings, snacks, and candy, and prices are very reasonable, especially in the bargain corner.  You can also grind your own peanut butter, or cashew butter, or macadamia butter.   They also have some nice, nutty (pun intended) gift ideas/boxes if you're needing such.   Don't forget to download their smartphone app either before or during your visit and you will save at least 15% with their e-coupons.  The bargain corner has discounted goods but be aware that the bargain inventory can change on a daily basis. read more

Great choices and great prices. I always buy too much and spend way too much money. But I ear everything

This place is awesome. Great variety of nuts and candy. They always have some really great deals. I got a big bag of cashews and a bag of other assorted nuts and dried fruits for $10. Not much more to say. If you're in the area stop in. read more

Nice selection however prices are too high! Found the EXACT whole cashew container at Menards for almost $4.00 cheaper & that doesn't include the 11% rebate so the savings will be even greater. Definitely not a discount outlet store. read more

What's not to like?! It's sugar and nuts. Or nuts and sugar. I like the bargain corner. If you have a craving for a certain snack, they have it. I love the flying saucers. But for 22.00 a box, I buy it every other visit. They have runts to jawbreakers to nuts to peanut butter. You will find something you like. Get the app and save some money. Bought some stocking stuffers and everyone will be happy. read more

3/2021 First time we have been there in quite a while. It is great to stop in and check out the current deals. The chocolate covered nuts are great. And love the packaging they now use rather than the bins they used to be in. Nice thought. Some of the deals are great and some are just ok. But every once in a while they have some awesome deals on nuts here. We love stopping in and checking it out. The other old time candies are great. They bring back happy memories of when we were children. A bit more expensive now, but awesome none the less. read more

What's not to love about shopping at Fisher Nuts Outlet store. I have been here twice, once I was in the area for a conference and stopped in and picked up some nuts at discount prices. This last time I stopped in with my boss for both of us to pick up nuts to bring home. I ended up purchasing a few of the clearance nuts and at really good prices like a large tub of honey roasted peanuts for only $4.00, it was on clearance for the packaging. I also purchased 6 bags of Almond Meal for only a dollar each bag which is ridiculous cheap. Employees are nice and friendly. If in the area I suggest checking it out. read more

Fisher Nuts Store - Great place to buy lots of nuts as they are made right there at the facility - Candy Stores Near Me - Elgin, Illinois

The outlet store is "Nuts" LOL! Whenever I am visiting clients in the Elgin area I always stop by the outlet store. Great deals on a very wide breadth and depth of nutritious and kinda nutritious snacks and treats. They also have an app that you must download for extra savings. Today I walked out with 3 handled shopping bags full of goodies. Oh they have samples to try before you buy!!!! I-90 at Randall Road - stop don't just drive by!!!! read more

A great outlet at the Fisher Nut factory! The store is conveniently located just south of the I-90 tollway on Randall road. As a long time customer of Fisher Nuts, since they had an outlet store in Barrington, The store is fairly large, and very clean. There is a clearance area in the back of the store, and they have a large selection of samples out so you can try something you may not otherwise buy outright. We've found some fantastic fun snacks for parties or travel by trying these samples. They also have "Wild Animal Food" which is bulk packed food which probably fell off their conveyors. You get maybe 30+ pounds of miscellaneous pieces for $15, and they often have buy one, get one deals! The store also has bulk items, from sesame sticks, to nuts, to dried fruits. This is a fantastic way to make your own trail mix, with just what you want! The staff is quiet but helpful, and several have worked with Fisher over 10 years! They know the product, and are happy to help you find what you're looking for. If you sign up for emails, you get coupons for various items or discounts, as well! read more

This place has the best selection of snack nuts and candy anywhere around!! I'm truly a kid in a candy store when I go here! Highly recommended!! read more

My mom and I go here every so often to get the wild animal mix for not only the animals in our backyard, but for my mom's cousin and my aunt as well! They have a great selection of nuts and other goodies to pick from, but I mostly get the honey roasted peanuts and cashews! I have tried their peanut butter before and it's really good! read more

The other poster said the quality is poor, guess what? That is why these items are in the OUTLET STORE and not on the shelf at the regular grocery store. You cannot return the product because they sell bags of bulk items by the pound. Use it for bird food if you don't like it. Often times they sell product close to the expiration date or not made to regular standards (ie. too many peanuts to cashew ratio). The items ARE NOT expired. Sometimes a buyer places an order and backs out of the purchase or Fisher makes too much, or they are experimenting with recipes. This is why the items are super cheap! I for one have never gotten anything bad from here. Sometimes I don't like the flavor or seasoning they use, but the product is always fine. If you are buying a lot of snacks for a party or putting together a gift of mixed nuts or something buy your stuff here. It will cost way less and be just as good. I like the place myself. Not for everybody though I guess. read more

Top quality items and a great staff....we live in Rockford but make the drive to Elgin just to visit this special store! Great prices too!

Looking for your nuts? Definitely stop in. Aside from the vast selection of nuts, chopped nuts and nuts inside stuff (mostly chocolate) you'll find a good assortment of candy, honey and other snacks. A guy below remarked that the prices here weren't good. I strongly disagree. We walked out with a large brown grocery bag filled for the whopping sum of $6.62 (includes tax). Pricing here is more than fair. Cheers. read more

Discounted nuts, chocolates, and trail mix. Cleanliness and reasonable prices/ very inexpensive. It's a must STOP whenever you are close to Randall Rd and I90. read more

Hit or miss So I drove out 30 minutes to shop here and am disappointed. First, there are no evening hours. Secondly if you want to order anything in bulk you have to order a good 3-4 days in advance. Thirdly, the prices are not all that good except for the clearance items. I ordered a 25 lbs. box of broken walnut halves for $3.85/lb, then found what appears to be the exact same thing at my local grocery store (Valli Produce) for $2.99, sold by the pound. Perhaps a walnut aficionado might think there's an important difference but it's lost on me. I was excited to find my favorite candies from Sweden there called Dumle by Fazer which I've never seen in the US. But at $.35 each for single bite candies the size of a Mentos I didn't buy any. On the other hand, the almond flour was on sale from $6 to $2/lb - that's what I call clearance prices. There is a "reduced" section in the back but not a lot there today. Stop by if you like nuts and snacks - it's just off the NW toll road. But it's not worth the hassle to go out of your way. read more

Love this place for getting jars of various nuts or candies. Newest discovery: milk chocolate covered cranberries. And they were buy one get one free. Sweet deal! Also bought some chocolate covered pecans. Fantastic! Tons of other options here for bargain seekers. read more

Fisher nuts is definitely worth the drive. The do-it-yourself carob peanut butter is sinfully addictive. Also found cotton candy Big League Chew which I have been faithfully searching out for years. The best time to go is when the bargain corner is full of almonds. The cinnamon almonds are absolutely divine and heavily discounted if they're in that corner. read more

No more animal nuts in bulk. They don't know if they will ever have them again. With new equipment being installed. I'm guessing the new equipment will be a more economical changeover, hence no more wasted nuts. I don't blame them, but I wish they would let us know, not keep giving us a maybe. It will certainly cut down the number of trips I go there and I know I'm gonna have a bunch of disappointed birds and critters around my house. read more

I live nearby and stop here on a pretty regular basis. The prices on bulk items are probably pretty close to retail, it's the items where you'll save more money. But what I like is I can buy just enough for whatever I need, from sprinkles to nuts instead of a big bag or bottle that will end up going to waste. read more

Decided to head out here after seeing them on Yelp. I had no idea there was a Fisher nuts store. I wasn't expecting much, but boy was I wrong. They have awesome prices in their bargain corner on nuts and snack mixes. I got southern nut mix large can for 6 bucks and a huge bag of chocolate covered cranberries for 3 bucks. Both were delicious and I have since polished them off. The staff is fantastic and super friendly and helpful. Some items are retail, but some are steals. They have a lot of novelty candy that I grew up on, so that was cool. They also have fresh honey too and t shirts for souvenir to take home. I plan on heading back there soon to replenish my snack stash. I highly recommend a trip! read more

Went there just to look around and came out smiling! Picked up two twenty pound bags os nuts marked "not fit for human consumption". I found the bags to be filled with all kinds of different nuts and I use them for feeding the birds in my yard. They LOVE IT! Jays, cardinals and many other varieties prefer this over other feed and it's a great deal. I filled three five gallon buckets! Also picked up some other things while were there too. Will be back again soon. read more

The staff is both friendly, but also knowledgeable of the products. Yes, you shop at this store as with any, selection is great and you check your prices to see what is a deal and whats not. They will have some specials and other times it might be the same as your local retail store. I would recommend this store to my friends to check out. read more
