I have a sugar and gelatine addiction, so I was as happy as a clodhopper when I discovered that Nelson has a specialty candy shop. With a focus on bulk candy and old-timey treats, Pixie stocks a great deal when considering the size of this town. With Save-On and Safeway doling humdrum confections by the ton, it is important to support businesses like this, who take great care in providing the community with unique and fun places to shop. Next time you (or your kids) have the desire for an Australian Cherry Ripe bar or some interesting sugar-free options (ha!), head down to Pixie and buy local. read more

Pixie Candy Shoppe - Pixie Sandwich Board - Candy Stores Near Me - Nelson, British Columbia

Despite the AMAZING selection on not only candy but also collectables I was unpleasantly surprised with lacklustre service. I circled the store three times waiting for the woman behind the counter to finish her conversation with- presumably, a friend and when I got up to the til she completely ignored me. Not only that but she didn't tell me my total and then grabbed my debit card out of my hand to put it into the machine! I wasn't surprised when she didn't wish me well or tell me to have a good day either after I had paid. It was honestly some of the worst service I have ever received and it will be a long time before I go back in. :( read more
