"If you've ever been to Stockholm and debated which sour, foamy, cola-shaped or licorice-laden candy miracle to scoop into your bag, today's news might hit you right in the nostalgia. CandyKing, the Swedish pick-and-mix giant that practically invented the modern bulk-candy wall, is officially opening its first U.S. store and it's landing in the West Village. The shop at 306 Bleecker Street opens on Saturday, December 6, giving New Yorkers their first true taste of Sweden's pick-and-mix tradition without a passport or duty-free layover."
"The West Village outpost keeps all the spirit of the European originals intact. The centerpiece is a 27-foot-wide, six-foot-tall wall packed with what the brand says is the largest assortment of Swedish candy available in the U.S. Expect heavy hitters like Kexchoklad, Big Cola Bottles, Foam Mushroom, "Lakrifun," Sockerbitar, Chocolate Roman Arches and a rotating cast of new hits pulled straight from Sweden's current candy obsessions."
CandyKing opens its first U.S. location at 306 Bleecker Street in the West Village on Saturday, December 6. The brand was founded in 1984 and popularized technicolor bulk-candy walls across European grocery stores, cinemas, airports and amusement parks. The new shop features a 27-foot-wide, six-foot-tall pick-and-mix wall billed as the largest assortment of Swedish candy available in the U.S., with items such as Kexchoklad, Big Cola Bottles, Foam Mushroom, "Lakrifun," Sockerbitar and Chocolate Roman Arches. The launch includes a limited-edition Swedish Zoo Monkey Foam and exclusive art installations, and it marks the start of a broader U.S. rollout with shopper-influenced assortments.
