I'm pretty sure this used to be called 'Candy 'n Cards', but this has been a childhood staple…read moreouting of mine. The shop is essentially just a large newsagents, but they do sell a lot of hard-to-find magazines, including some US beauty mags and obscure science-fiction ones. They also have a huge chocolate and sweet section, but what kept me going back there is the fact that they sell scampi fries crisps, which seem to be impossible to find anywhere. Apart from this, they also sell postcards and small gifts. The staff in there are very lovely and helpful, too.
I popped in this Saturday because I heard a rumor that Candy & Cards sold pipe tobacco 'ye olde…read moresweet shop' style (as in loose, from tubs) and I was not disappointed! Visible from the main thoroughfare of the store, there is a clear tobacco section in the left-hand corner behind the counter in which they sell not only loose American Blend pipe tobacco but also to my surprise loose aromatic Auld Kendal hand rolling tobacco. I believe that this is the only store in the area that still sells tobacco in this way. Of course they also sell OTC tobacco as well, but it was the specialist loose stuff that I came for. I've reviewed the tobaccos here: Auld Kendal Strawberry Hand Rolling Tobacco (http://rlstevenson.co.uk/auld-kendal-strawberry-hand-rolling-tobacco-review/) American Blend Peach Pipe Tobacco (http://rlstevenson.co.uk/american-blend-peach-tobacco/) The store owners, presumably husband and wife, are very friendly & welcoming and when questioned knew a great deal about tobacco and provided excellent advice. They even let me smell a few tubs of aromatic! My only qualms are that the store closes quite early (on a Saturday they close at 15:30) which makes it quite difficult for me to get there during opening times. The store also has quite a few empty shelves. Please don't let this store fall victim to the harsh economic times! Tell your friends about its wide selection of aromatics. I highly recommend it.

Their cigarettes are more expensive than the co-op only a few doors down. If you wish to pay by debit card there is a 0.50p fee unless you spend more than £10 - though included in this price cannot be alcohol, lotter tickets or cigarettes. They have some bakery items which are freshly made - unfortunately they do not taste very moist and fresh! On the positive side!! - they stay open until 10.30pm which is later than the other surroundng shops, they also do sell a large, varied amount of essential products like milk, bread and eggs. The sald/veg is normally just about on its sell by date but on the whole looks withered and tired. This is situated with a few other shops and most times of the day you can park off road very near.
