POWELL'S
SWEET SHOPPE
Right Out Of The Past
Click |
| Powell’s Sweet Shoppe is an old-time, old-fashioned,
old-world candy store taken from America’s imagination at the turn-of-the-previous-century.
Everyone has an extremely vivid and pleasant memory of where they
went as a child to get their favorite candy - whether it was the corner
market or their Grandma’s candy dish. Powells is a nostalgic recreation
of that classic and bygone era. On the surface they sell ice cream
and sweets, but you don’t have to stand in the Shoppe too long before
you realize that what they really offer are whimsy and memories....
