Reviews
We love the Dime Store. Excellent candy store and fabulous customer service. Our town just wouldn't be the same without it. Our kiddos thoroughly enjoy visiting and we take family from out of town to visit anytime they're here. Great business!
I love this Wakarusa treasure trove of Candy! They even hung out in wait for me when we were having a candy emergency. Making spirit gifts for our cheer team, we needed pop rocks and there were none to be found in Nappanee. Who knew how hard it was to find pop rocks, but they have literally every flavor, and we're happy to help us out. Saved us a trip to a larger town in the pouring down rain. Thank You, Candy Gods of Indiana.
WOW!!! This is everything you would think of a candy and dime store from the past, but it is available now at this location. There was almost every candy imaginable and a huge sugar-free selection! It was just wonderful to walk around and see all the selections from the present and memories from the past. I highly recommend visiting this store if you are ever nearby. 5 Stars - Would go out of my way to get back
I think I died and went to heaven. The cutest candy shop. Owner was so kind. You name the candy she had it. The Jellybeans are larger than life itself. We sampled a few and yummy . She even had doggie treats. So we walked out with double dipped dark chocolate covered peanuts, dark chocolate covered raisins, massive bing cherries covered in red velvet chocolate, dark chocolate covered espresso beans and a few old time candy. If ever you stop or drive into Wakarusa, Indiana this is a must stop in.
Great local candy store So much to choose from About a mile off of State Road 19 Street side parking Home of the giant jelly beans
