I had read about twin Bing candy and I had never had it before, so I had to swing buy to buy some! I ended up buying some, and more. I ended up buying ~20 lb of frosted peanut butter pretzels, which were on sale due as they were "seconds" aka slight manufacturing mistakes. Still delicious though! There's smaller quantities on sale too if you don't want to go all in. There's a museum-type area in the back where they show the old candy machine that fueled the original candy shop, and a TV showing how the candy was produced. Of course, the production is now modernized. There's a large bulk section for candies, and a candy counter. The service I received in the shop was impeccable. If I'm ever back in town, I'll make sure to diet a bit before returning to this shop. It is excellent. read more

Best candy in the country! We come every time we are in town! Also, we love the selection!

Yes, I do recommend this business! I just adore the Palmer Candy Co. It has the old time candy shop experience most people don't get to enjoy these days! read more

So many great foods and desserts in America, all of them are in the Palmer your hand. These, though, are a shelf stable snack that I don't really enjoy too much. They make chocolate covered raisins and peanuts and stuff, and both Barbi and I think they taste a little bit too American, and not our favourite. Still a good company though. read more

Palmer's has a wide variety of candy from when I was growing up. The employees are great at helping customers and knowledgeable of where things are at. When I walked in the store I felt like I was walking into an old candy store. Kind of a calming experience.Very nice atmosphere. read more

We enjoyed looking around at all the varieties of candies, but our favorite is the popcorn!

The place is unique, charming and full of sweet treats. The staff is always courteous and helpful! Thsnk you!

The ambiance of the place is antique and well preserved. I enjoyed walking through and reading the plaques about the different machinery used throughout the years in the factory. I was hoping for a little better handmade selection and remembered twin bing was a pretty big deal and mass produced. I spent probably an hour or more in the store looking at all the products and history. I loved the room with the localy sold goods and wares. I purchased a handful of things for gifting season coming up. All in all a spectacular visit I plan to repeat when work brings me this way again. read more

Love going here to get super fresh local made candies. Always friendly staff and super helpful.

Very fun stop in Sioux City. Staff were friendly and helpful and the selection of food, candy and chocolate was amazing. It isn't a long stop, 45 minutes will be enough but an easy place to get into and out of if you need something to do. All ages will enjoy it. read more

This place is SO cool. You feel like you're stepping back in time when you enter. It's worth a trip just to look around; seriously! The candy selection is amazing. I go and bag up on sour stuff, and then go buy a couple of their home made Reese's cups. Their fudge is to die for...try the peanut butter! They gave what they call 'speciality foods' as well. Tons of sauces, jams, hot sauce, spices, cheeses, etc. I don't buy those items much, but they're there. They do gift baskets and always have seasonal stuff. Not a lot of parking. It's a PokéGym for all you Pokémon Go players!!! read more

Palmer's Olde Tyme Candy Shoppe - shelves of candy - Candy Stores Near Me - Sioux City, Iowa

They have tons of candy people, I dunno what else you need out of life. I tried a "twin-bing" for the first time ever, and was filled with such joy that I solved world peace. Then I realized that you can't get twin-bings in my town, and I unsolved world peace. Then I found out you can order them and have them sent to your house, but I was so exhausted from solving then unsolving world peace that I decided to just order another box of twin-bings instead. read more

The Bing candy! Palmer brings back fond childhood memories. I grew up in Sioux City and indulged my sweet tooth every Saturday. They didn't have a factory store when I lived there, I envy the residents on that. The store is amazing. And the candy is so fresh you'll think it was homemade. Can't wait for the next road trip to Sioux City! read more

As usual this place is amazing. There is something for everyone (sweets - chocolate to gummy bears) cooking sauces, cheese) and it is all yummy. read more

Palmer's is amazing! It's a fun store with friendly staff and more candy than you could imagine. I am about to make a 90 minute drive one way to make some purchases for my upcoming holiday trip with family! If I'm hooked-I need them hooked too! read more

This is a great place for getting a gift. They have pre-made gift baskets of varying prices and ages. I got a $15 gift basket for my daughter's friend's birthday party and the little girl loved it. They also have a large selection of candy to pick from. My kids like to pick out a variety of candy in their own bag. I recommend the fancy truffles in the glass counter. They're about $3 each but you only need one and your sweet tooth is satisfied. read more

Always enjoy stopping in when I am in town. My kid loves stopping in as well... was the hi light of her day today!

Palmer Candy is a great local candy shop! Their prices are very reasonable/inexpensive. The store front is always well kept and clean. Now about the sweets, A-Mazing! They have this caramel corn that has milk chocolate on it and it's drizzled with white chocolate too--oh it's soo good. If you're in the neighborhood check it out. read more
