hollywood candy

This is really the address for the Omaha Hollywood Candy store. Which also has a little diner inside as well as a cool antique shop. There is something for everyone. Candy I've never heard of, jelly belly dispensers, glass pop bottles, candy in bulk, you name it, they have it. They even have freshly made items such as chocolate covered bacon, chocolate covered espresso beans, coconut haystacks, chocolate covered brownies and so much more. I looked a little closer this time and actually found, chocolate covered insects, spicy worms and some other nasty concoctions. Great gag gifts? In any case, it's a very cool store and an excellent place to shop for nieces & nephews :)

Hollywood Candy bills itself as an experience. In the front of the store one can buy the candy and soft drinks from childhood--Blackjack Gum, etc. Waking back through the store there is a soda fountain complete with booths and juke box where drinks and sandwiches gets you ready for the rest of the store.The owner has been collecting "stuff" for over 60 years and it is all on display, some for enjoyment and reminisce and some for sale. A theater with old movies running and seasonal displays complete the experience.Tour directors have trouble getting passengers back on the bus in a timely fashion because they find it so interesting.
