About Candyland

Tucked away in the scenic town of Oakland, Maryland, Candyland, located at 12679 Garrett Hwy, offers a nostalgic step back in time. This unique establishment blends the charm of a 1970s-style grocery store with the sweet allure of an old-fashioned candy shop. Walking in, guests are greeted by rows upon rows of candy-sold individually or in bulk-ranging from timeless favorites to unique confections that spark childhood memories.

But Candyland is more than just a haven for sweet lovers. It also doubles as a thoughtfully curated farmer’s market, featuring a diverse selection of produce, locally sourced honey, nuts, baking supplies, and dry goods. Every product is displayed with care, and the freshness of the items is evident at first glance. Many visitors praise the market’s commitment to quality, noting its selection surpasses that of larger commercial outlets.

One of Candyland's standout features is its wide variety of candies. From chocolates and gummies to nostalgic treats rarely found elsewhere, the options here are both extensive and enticing. The experience rivals that of high-end mall candy stores, yet maintains a warm, local authenticity that’s hard to replicate.

Prices throughout the store are consistently reasonable and competitive, making it a perfect stop for families, tourists, or anyone looking to stock up on quality goods without breaking the bank. It’s also a favorite among locals who return for the store’s consistent excellence in both products and service.

Although the business is set to close permanently on October 27, 2024, due to succession and property sale reasons, Candyland remains a beloved fixture in the community. Its closing is not a reflection of dwindling demand-on the contrary, loyal customers continue to visit for what many consider the finest produce and specialty goods in the area.

Whether you're searching for nostalgic sweets, farm-fresh produce, or locally made honey, Candyland delivers an unforgettable experience infused with small-town charm and enduring quality.
