We visited Minnesota's Largest Candy Store during a family vacation in July, and it was such a fun and unique experience! We ended up spending over two hours there, and honestly, we could've stayed even longer. They truly have every candy you can imagine -- from current favorites to nostalgic treats that instantly take you back to childhood. It was so much fun seeing candies we hadn't thought about in years. The decor is colorful, whimsical, and over-the-top in the best way, which makes it feel like more than just a store -- it's an experience. There's also a bakery inside where we picked up some sweet treats, and they have a huge selection of root beers and other specialty drinks that you don't see everywhere. If you're planning a stop in Minnesota, this is absolutely a must-visit spot -- especially for families or anyone who loves a little nostalgia with their sugar rush! read more

They also have some cute souvenirs for the candy store. Definitely go check it out next time you go visit Minnesota/ Mall of America! read more

This was my first time here which was super fun! Honestly my favorite part was seeing the murals and all the decorations inside. They had a humongous selection of all types of different candy - some made more local as well as international. It all seems to be relatively reasonably priced. Unfortunately one of the chocolate bars I bought was past its best by date which was disappointing as I had just purchased it - I still ate it and it was fine but obviously I would have preferred if it was fresh. My only other comment is that they only take cash!! So if you come make sure you have some bills with you. read more

This is more than just a candy store... It has expanded from when I was a life to having puzzles, jams, jelly, cheese, meat sticks and more! If you're going by Jordan, MN definitely need to make a pit stop to check out the largest candy store because as you just walked in you can smell the sweetest aroma of the apple bread baking! So yummy ! They have so many different sections of Asian snacks that it's overwhelming to choose. Service was great. They have many registers available so you don't have to wait in long lines like most touristy places. Prices are reasonable. Cash or check only so make sure you have cash otherwise they do have several ATMs throughout the store for your convenience. If they have a sensory overload time frame for people to shop without a lot people, I would definitely sign up lol. read more

Lots of variety of all different types of things- Pop, candy, pasta, baked goods, pickled things, chips & novelty fun! I would say good pricing but Items add up fast, be prepared to spend some money! Does get very busy so I recommend going early morning, during the week. Cash or check only but lots of ATMs on site. Fun decorating, lots of things to look at! We will be back again! read more

This place is huge and has a lot to look at. Part art installation, part museum and part store. There's not just candy, there's pies, apples, teas, coffee, puzzles, toys and more. The only downside to this place is it can get very crowded on the weekends and because there is so much in the place the isles aren't super wide. Highly recommended stopping by, especially if you can on a weekday. read more

Amazing customer service and beautiful decoration and organization. I would totally come back to try all the different flavors of sodas that I didn't get. Cash only, so please make sure you have cash handy for this. read more

My husband and I went to the Minnesota's Largest Candy Store after visiting the Minnesota Renaissance Festival. (It was just 10 minutes south.) It was on a Saturday afternoon. The place was packed with people and so was their parking lot. Their parking lot is lined with chunky rocks, so I recommend that you wear comfortable shoes. The exterior has some cool artwork. The selection great. They had various candy, snacks, pies, pop, bake mix, and more. My husband and I spent about $40. I recommend that you bring cash, otherwise they have ATM throughout the store. It is probably because it was on a Saturday afternoon, but there were 17 cashiers, but I felt the flow waiting to get checked out was unorganized. There was a male employee yelling about how there's 17 tills and to try to move the crowd along. I also noticed the service was quick - a customer dropped a glass root beer bottle and the staff took care of it right away. Overall, the place is a must need to check out. Our selection was delicious! I highly recommend to NOT go on the weekends. My husband visited this place for work delivering products on a weekday at lunchtime and said there was hardly anybody at the time. read more

Minnesota's Largest Candy Store Never went inside. We pass this place when going to South Dakota. Large location. No phone. No webpage. Cash only. Sounds like someone is looking to hide from the government. Anyways, candy, candy, candy, Enjoy. We will visit next time when it's open. Highly Recommended read more

They have amazing pumpkins, squash, and well CANDY!!!!! If you like candy this is the place to go. They have everything. Candy from all reaches of the globe. The family who owns it also owns the apple orchard up the road. They have been in business in the valley for a long time. I always bring friends and always have a caramel apple. The staff is great and the lines move quickly. Make sure to check out the bathrooms =) I will be back! read more

Minnesota's Largest Candy Store - Candy Stores Near Me - Jordan, Minnesota

We were taking the long way home from our week in the Mpls area and spotted this on a map and knew we had to stop. This quirky place is huge and has more than the largest collection of candy I have ever seen (including a big international selection) they also have lots of weird sodas, sauces, baked goods, kitchen gadgets, chips, snacks, etc. The decor inside and out is funky and just plain fun. Lots of sci-fi stuff. I saw an article that they will be moving to a new nearby location in a couple of years due to highway construction and building a giant new, very expensive store. I find it hard to believe it will have the charm of this place that grew in bits and pieces over the decades. Worth a stop. Oh and bring cash they don't take credit cards (and its not cheap)! read more

It's an eclectic store full of various candies, soda, socks, toys, jigsaw puzzles, and other items. Some of its specialty things from Japan, France, and other countries. I got some of them and look forward to embarking on international culinary adventures at home. The staff was very attentive and friendly. Both the outside and inside of the building are decorated with whimsical artwork. You kind of just want to look around, but you'll run into people. The only negative is the fact they don't take credit cards. What business in this day and age doesn't take credit cards? read more

A must see, I was amazed how much candy and variety there was. The store smells good as soon as you walk in the door! Highly recommend.

This is a must stop if you are a Minnesotan or anywhere in the Midwest! People come from near and far to behold the wonder that is our Largest Candy Store! Every soda (pop in this state) flavor you can think of, apples, pies, fudge, name a candy they don't have, syrups, soups , cheese, meats, and a walk down the nostalgia candy isle will do your heart good. We go at least once a year and it never disappoints read more

They aren't kidding when they tell you it's the state's largest candy store. It's arguably probably the largest candy store I've ever been in period. We stopped here during our vacation from Los Angeles to the Mall of America. I remember reading someone else's review that said to not kid yourself by passing up a basket/cart when you come in, because you're just gonna have to go back and grab one. Accurate. Overall, we probably spent about an hour here and stocked up on a variety of candies, some foreign chips, and a couple sodas. Being that it was our last day in Minnesota before heading home, I'm pretty bummed we couldn't get a pie or some cheese curds. Definitely wish they had pie by the slice here! The decor in each room is pretty cool with different themes. The room at the very end with the space theme had some fun hidden gems in the decor, mainly I was excited to see the Planet Express ship on the ceiling. Definitely ended up spending more here than I expected to and had to use one of their ATMs, since they are cash only. Fun places and I'm sure a welcome pitstop of you were road tripping. Some things were pricey, but that's to be expected. Glad we took the time to drive out here during our trip! read more

This is such a neat place. They have just about any candy you could ever imagine. They also have tons of chips and all kinds of bottled soda. They have lots of different foods as well. Noodles, pasta sauces, pizza sauces, pickles, olives, salsas, cookie and muffin mixes, cocktail mixes, trinkets and souvenirs. Literally thousands of puzzles. The inside has super fun decor that kids and adults will love. They have such a wide variety of things, in a range of prices. It can get busy but they do have 10 or more registers. Take note that they only accept cash or check. read more

This place is a hoot! Awesome sauce! Wow! Yeah, I read other reviews about the crowds and so on but my visit earlier this week on a early afternoon weekday was pleasant with maybe 50-60 people inside shopping. The selection in this store is impressive to say the least. Inventory control must be a headache because they have so many local, national and international brands offered. When they say they have the largest soda selection I believe it. Just the number of root beer brands offered here blew my mind. And it's not just candy but many other foods to make you and the kids happy. For example, I counted 10 different varieties of fresh apples in paper bags for sale here. Beyond the candies and sweets, drinks and fresh fruits and other foods what about the interior decor? All of the incredible ceiling decorations including the rising and falling hot air balloons and the large free standing super hero figures are ripe for photo opportunities. What about the Candy Band whose members play a fun song every 5 minutes? Then you go into their restroom and you see all of the fine art reproductions on the walls. The transition in decor from Minnesota's Largest Candy Store to The Louvre is funny and noticeable. During my 20 minutes here, I noticed several employees restocking the shelves and available for assistance if needed. This was a fun stop and I agree it's hard to leave without buying something. I bought some rocky road fudge, a pecan log and buttered popcorn taffy. It was a fun visit. Remember this is a cash or local check operation only. No credit cards. Also they close for the winter. This year they close Nov. 28 and reopen Mother's Day weekend. read more

Wowzers!!! Found this place on Atlas Obscura and recently visited! At first we weren't sure if it would be worth the drive...visiting the MSP area with the fam...so it was about a 40 min drive...let me just say...so worth it!!!! Place is definitely hard to miss....it's a huge bright yellow building that sticks out in the middle of all the Apple orchards/farms/general greenery in the area. Lots of parking and lots of things! They only accept cash or checks and have a few ATM's inside...so be sure to plan accordingly. They have ample gravel lot parking...also mentioning this because rocks in your toes can be an issue with sandals. We had so much fun checking out all the things outside before we even walked into the door...so be sure to check those out...3D photo art, world's largest jigsaw puzzle, so much randomness! They have a lot of fun displays inside with various themes and of course you guessed it...lots of candies from all over the world! In addition they have the worlds largest soda selection, we bought some fun root beer flavors and brands! They also sell fresh and frozen pies/baked goods; strange shaped/unique dry pastas, and puzzles! Really had a nice visit here with the family! read more

The biggest trick is getting out of here without buying anything, especially with kids in tow. Lots of candy to choose from, they definitely live up to their namesake. If you don't have a sweet tooth craving to kick, they also have baking mixes, assorted snacks, baked goods, fresh produce (depending on the season) etc. to take a look at as well. The inside has been recently renovated and includes a neat collection of super hero and Disney themed items your kids will fall in love with. We go here every now and then to live the experience or if I am looking for a hard to find candy (here's looking at you Chick-o-sticks) but it reminds me of how Mall of America is, some people love it and some people hate it because of the crowds and such. Oh well, to each their own. read more

Such a neat experience! We definitely spent a solid hour walking around and taking it all in. Surprised by the amount of people there too! The parking lot filled up by the time we left. As a note there are no Covid procedures or policies in place anymore (as of July 2021). I didn't see any signs, masks, or markings on the floor. But it is definitely a place for both kids and adults to feel the excitement of 'being a kid in a candy store' the whole time you're there. Their displays are outstanding and were my favorite part. There's just so much to look at and it's easy to miss the little details. Word of advice- when you first walk in the door, look UP! read more

I will normally tell you that roadside kitsch is not worth a trip just to see it. This one, it might be the exception. W don't take a road trip to southwest MN without stopping here. Plan at least an hour. It's just a sensory overload of candy and a few other foods, weird soda flavors (blue cheese anyone? At least they have like 100 kinds of ginger beer), photo ops, and a little bit of fresh fruit just for window dressing. Don't miss a trip to the bathrooms, which have decor that's just a hoot. And stand by the honey section to pick up some dad jokes from the animatronic bear. (My kids will verify that these are truly bad jokes.) Now, with all that good clean fun for kids and grown ups alike , fair warning: you aren't getting out of here without buying something. I don't care if you're Ebenezer Scrooge himself, they have something you want, even if it's the macaroni and cheese candy canes for your least favorite employee. Also: CASH ONLY CASH ONLY CASH ONLY BRING CASH. Sure, there's an ATM in there. You know you don't want that fee. read more

On a Fall Saturday afternoon, this place is overwhelming. I still love it. I find it odd that when you walk in, there is so much NOT candy. So many pickles and salsas and soup mixes! Not my thing. APPLES! I remember when they offered slice samples, but that's another thing Covid ruined. I bought a pie. For $14 I thought it would be better than a budget grocery store but nowhere near a farmer's market pie. It was SO GOOD. The pie might be the best deal at this tourist stop. I admired lots and lots of chips. I think you could find some very unique snack products here. A lot of it seems overpriced. I admired lots and lots of candy, most of which was overpriced. Your elders will appreciate the nostalgia. (Candy cigarettes? Beech Gum? My mom cant have either of those things anymore but they make her smile) Your young kids will appreciate the quantity, but may also take way too long picking out...things available at Target. Some of the things being sold could easily be found in stores in the Twin Cities, but maybe you don't have independent stores like that in your town. They have Zoltar. read more

Really fun experience. Candy from around the world and every flavor soda you can think of...even corn. We had so much fun looking at EVERYTHING. However, one item we purchased was expired by a YEAR! We didn't notice until we were an hour away from the store. (Cadbury Mini Rolls) I was super bummed because I really wanted to try them. purchased 6/30/2025, best by March 2024. read more

Me and my family stopped here while on vacation in October 2023. They have a wide variety of candy. They even had some old fashion candy. They have an animatronic band that plays music every 5 minutes and plenty of displays of characters from cartoons and movies throughout the store. They do not accept credit or debit cards but they do have an ATM on station. They also had pumpkins when we went. read more

So fun! They sell candy, snacks, pies, drinks, and puzzles. We are so happy we visited here

What? Could this be? A giant candy store located right along Highway 169? You mean this, the largest candy store in Minnesota? Whoa...I better pull over immediately! Lol. Yes, I love candy. So...while driving along my summer road trip I came across this, the official - Minnesota's Largest Candy Store. I had to check this place out. What a bold, right in your face name. To say it drew my attention would be an understatement! Here it was in late afternoon, and I randomly discovered this MLCS. I quickly pulled into the parking lot and even before I went inside, I was already snapping photos of the entrance sign and along the grounds outside the building. I give this store massive credit. They know how to attract attention. The store is painted bright yellow with all sorts of colors. It really stands out. The building is like one giant storage unit in what appeared to house all the candy in the entire world! The whole setup was very clever. Just before entering inside, a song started playing in my head... "come with me, and you'll be, in a world of pure imagination!" Hehehe...alright I'm going a little over the top! But seriously, I felt like my inner child was coming out. Yes, I'm now 43 and a grown adult but this candy store felt like Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory all over again. Maybe not as magical as the movie, but still for me...such a pleasant surprise. Now finally entering...I absolutely grabbed a shopping wagon...no, not a shopping basket, but a wagon! I was going all out, give me the big cart! Funny, before I even started shopping, I think I just wandered through the isles taking pictures. It's like, this place had everything! It's just hilarious, all the other customers were shopping for their favorite candies and all I'm busy doing is taking photos up and down the rows with my selfie-stick! I believe I spent a good 30 minutes simply exploring before finally loading up my cart. Btw...just a heads up because I was surprised by this...they only accept cash. Good thing I did have money with me but normally if I were in a local store, I'd never be carrying around the amount of cash I actually had with me while here in Jordan, Minnesota. Oh, and...yes they have an ATM just in case. I will say...prices for the candies were a little elevated. I mean, I guess you're paying for the convenience and for the availability of all these candies that remind you of your childhood, and so a chance to purchase stuff that normally you'd never find anymore at a grocery store, gas station or a place like Walmart...you have to pay up to get your hands on these old-fashioned items. One other thing...inside it's setup like a giant warehouse or say like a Costco where they appear to sell things wholesale, but you can purchase every item individually. Near the front register area were all sorts of drinks and refreshments. Then when heading towards the middle and back sections...it's basically isle after isle after isle... I took my time looking over all the candies. I knew in my head I'd spend around $100...that was sort of my budget. I think, had they let me pay with credit card, I wouldn't have been so self-conscious about the prices. Here was just a sampling of the items I placed in my shopping cart... - chocolate chip cookie dough popcorn, English toffee popcorn, gummy bears cereal (absolutely no nutritional value added!), giant gummy turkey legs, Tell City Honey BBQ pretzels, cookie dough taffy, those old fashioned "mega" candy buttons, all sorts of flavored lollipops, jellybeans, Pez candies, candy cigarettes, some international chocolates I had never heard of, unique cotton candy flavors...and...I think that was about it, lol. So...after spending 30 minutes walking around I used another 45 minutes shopping. Finally, I must mention the charming little mementos and statues situated outside the candy store entranceway... - The World's Largest Jigsaw Puzzle - "Guinness Book of World Records has certified this puzzle, measuring 22 feet, 6 inches long and 6 feet, 3 inches high to be the World's Largest Jigsaw Puzzle". This was great for a photo. - Actually, this is inside...for bathrooms - they also have Minnesota's Largest Porta Potties! Wow...although I never went inside to use them, I would say that they're probably well maintained. I can't remember though if they have real bathrooms. But they do have these giant porta potties, lol. - A giant sized map of the neighborhood of Jordan, Minnesota...a town I didn't know existed. - A Jelly Belly statue - sitting on a bench good for another fun picture. - The official sign stating..."Minnesota's Largest Candy Store". It's situated off to the right-hand side of the parking lot. Imo, this sign is sort of a rite of passage announcing that you have arrived at this landmark attraction. Well. I've said all I could say. One last thing, the store is conveniently located only 40 miles from Minneapolis! Alight, this is Minnesota's Largest Candy Store. read more
