Grandpa Joe’s Candy Shop Coming Soon to Downtown Leesburg
Grandpa Joe’s Candy Shop is set to open its doors soon at 300 W Main Street in Downtown Leesburg, in the former location of God Cafe, bringing an extensive selection of nostalgic and hard-to-find candies, international treats, and over 250 varieties of glass bottled craft soda.
The store will offer a variety of unique toys, games, and gifts suitable for all ages. A highlight of the shop will be its World Famous $5 Candy Buffet, providing visitors with an opportunity to indulge in an assortment of sweets at an affordable price.
This will be Grandpa Joe’s second retail location in Florida, offering a wide array of new and classic confections, hand-crafted chocolates, and rare international selections. Customers can expect a mix of traditional favorites and innovative flavors not commonly found in the region.
Leesburg Mayor Alan Reisman expressed his enthusiasm for the shop’s arrival, stating, “I’m absolutely thrilled to welcome Grandpa Joe’s Candy Shop to our beautiful downtown and to the City of Leesburg! They’ll be a fantastic addition to our community. Be sure to stop by, show your support, and explore all that our downtown has to offer!”
Stay tuned for the grand opening details.
