The Roanoker - November/December 2014 - 62
The Candy Store packs a
punch in its small retail
space with more than
a thousand different
chocolates and candies
to try.
62 NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2014
The Candy STore
"I'm in the business of getting people addicted...legally," laughs Lawson Jaeger, co-owner, along with his
brother Robert Jaeger, of The Candy Store in downtown Roanoke. And he's right: If you have a sweets
vice, there's a very good chance you can satisfy your
cravings within the sugar-spun space. Open the front
door and you're greeted by jars of rock candy, stacks
of artisanal chocolate bars, and rows upon rows of
SweetTarts, gummy centipedes, and chocolate globes.
Stopping in on a rainy Saturday, I was hardly surprised that The Candy Store scooped up platinum
in the "Best Candy Store" category - the business
was teeming with both kids and adults sizing up the
confectionary jars and scooping out treats to buy
by the pound. A modern day Wonka wonderland,
the Jaeger brothers have treated the space as a blank
canvas, with exposed brick walls and airy, tall ceil-
ings highlighting the painter's palate of chocolates
and candies. On one end, a rainbow dot painted wall
flanks the register and a refrigerated case is filled with
fudge and truffles.
More than anything, however, the store holds what
may be Roanoke's best-kept secret - a small freezer
near the plate glass windows filled to the brim with
Atlanta-based King of Pops popsicles. Have you ever
tried a Sea Salt Chocolate or a Pineapple Habanero
popsicle? How about fresh Peach or Raspberry Lime?
If not, you're missing out. No matter the season, King
of Pops' small-batch popsicles are the bees knees
and a treat I'd recommend rushing out for. But, then
again, so is pretty much any candy you'll find - sugar's
no child's play at The Candy Store.
