Grandpa Joe's Is A Whimsical Candy Store In Pittsburgh

Remember how much fun it was going to the candy store when we were kids? Everything looked so good, but we usually had a limit to what we could buy. That didn’t stop us from begging mom and dad for more, though. Channel some of that childhood magic – and buy all of the candy you want this time around – when you visit this fun and whimsical candy store in Pittsburgh.

Next time you've got a yearning to stroll down Memory Lane, make a beeline for Grandpa Joe's Candy Shop in the Strip District. Bring your sweet tooth with you, too.

The whimsical candy shop is perhaps best-known for its $5 candy buffet. Grab a box, and fill it to the brim with all of your favorites - lollipops and gummies, for example. As long as it closes, the box costs just $5.

You'll find a ton of childhood favorites, such as candy sticks, wax bottles, and Necco wafers. Oh, but that's just the beginning of the sugary-sweet fun.

The candy store's also brimming with candy you've probably never seen. Its imported candies range from German gummies to Japanese Kit Kats. You just might discover your new favorite candy.

Grab a pack of Astronaut Ice Cream too; it's just what the astronauts eat in space. You can't miss the massive wall of flavored pops either.

Take a look at the unique varieties of potato chips. If you love pickles, you'll find quite a few pickle-centric goodies, too.

All that candy shopping have you feeling a little famished? Parched? Grab a seat in front of the TV, and watch some of *Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory*.

Grandpa Joe's also sells a generous selection of fun items. Fancy a pair of Mister Rogers' socks? Golden Girls drink coasters? Bob Ross temporary tattoos or puppets?
