Whoever came up with the expression, “like a kid in a candy store” has obviously never seen an adult surrounded by thousands of their favorite nostalgic sweets. Sweeties is a gigantic candy warehouse in Chandler that is filled to the brim with old-fashioned classics like Pixie Stix and the hottest new crazes alike. Check it out:
Taking up nearly 13,000 square feet, Sweeties Candy is the largest candy store in all of Arizona. It's been family owned and operated for over 60 years, helping people get in touch with their inner child ever since.
It's hard to visualize just how big the store is before actually going inside. The warehouse stacked floor-to-ceiling with sweets, so rest-assured all your favorites can be found here.
The motto here at Sweeties is "If it's still manufactured, we'll have it!" Old-fashioned classics, fun novelties, and everything else imaginable has a rightful place in this heaven-sent building.
With Valentine's Day right around the corner, don't just give your sweetheart any ordinary box of chocolates. Instead, surprise them their favorite nostalgic candy to show how much you really care.
If you're playing Easter Bunny this year, Sweeties Candy is the place to go. Stock up on Peeps, Reese's Eggs, and tons of other scrumptious treats to fill your baskets with.
You'll find more than just candy on these shelves! Endless aisles of sodas you probably haven't seen in decades are a fast track to cherished childhood memories.
One step inside is all it takes to bring up your fondest childhood memories. You’ll find Sweeties Candy at 1986 N Alma School Rd., Chandler, AZ 85224. It’s open Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sweeties is closed on Sundays.
