The Lollipop Shop of the Smokies

After visiting Bass Pro we decided to stop by the little shopping area where Lollipop Shop is located.
Being candy fans we were excited to see what the store had to offer. As we were making our way towards the store we noticed how pretty big the store was especially for a candy shop and got even more excited.
When we walked in we were pretty disappointed. We were hoping to see wall to wall candy displays where your eyes are so busy because they are trying to take everything in. Well, that’s not what this store is. The candy selection was just a-​ok. Nothing you can’t typically find in the candy isle of your local grocery store or specialty store.
What we also noticed was that the store had something called «stuff a buddy» which is similar to a Build a Bear but a little less glamorous.
I guess this store is decent enough to wow your kids and keep them entertained for the time being because what kid doesn’t like candy? But if you’re an adult shopper looking for specialty candy then this really isn’t worth your time. You might find a couple different candies that you can’t find at the grocery store such as «Mary Janes» but other than that the store was less than exciting.
Oh, I forgot to mention that the candy is pretty pricey. The bulk candy is $ 7.99 per pound and candy bars such as Charleston Chew were $ 1.49 each. If you’re anywhere near Knoxville you should definitely check out Mast General. They have the a better candy selection and are much cheaper.
