Welcome to Abby Brown's Candy Shoppe
We are in our 34th year and we're just as excited as we were years ago. It's going to be a great year with a lot of fun - and some new candies!
We use 14 different companies for the majority of the chocolates that we sell. We want to find the most interesting and best that the companies have and offer those to our customers. Many of these companies are regional and are unknown in the Fort Wayne area. Finding delicious specialties and seeing our customers enjoy them is part of the fun of having a candy store. All of the chocolates are in trays in the candy cases, so we can pack mixed boxes of your favorites for you.
We do make the molded chocolates and a few of the regular selections here in the store - chocolate covered Oreos, chocolate covered Marshmallows, and the Barks - Almond, Pecan and Cashew.
We make lots of solid chocolate molded items. Right now, we have hundreds of molds, but a very small store. There isn't a lot of display room, so many of our molds are only made a few times a year.
If you are looking for a particular chocolate form, give us a call. We may have a mold for it. Our molded chocolates can be ordered if you give us a few days notice.
We have one of the largest selections of black licorice in the Midwest. Our customers asked for licorice, so we found over 35 varieties. Look at our Licorice page on this website. If you have a favorite black licorice, please call and see if we already carry it. If not, we'll be happy to look for it. Unfortunately, many of the licorices that people enjoyed in the past have been discontinued. Sometimes the best things are the ones that disappear.
In addition to chocolates and licorice, we offer confections from Boston Baked Beans to Cinnamon Balls...from Rum Cordials to Chocolate Covered Espresso Beans...from Chocolate Rocks (amazingly realistic) to Chocolate Raspberries. One of our most popular items is a soft Butter Caramel.
It really is fun to have a candy store!

We know that people have been curious about why we close from noon to 1pm each day. Dan Poore, the owner of the store, and my husband, is now bedridden and that is when he gets his lunch. We know that it's terribly inconvenient for our customers and we do apologize, but there is nothing that we can do about it. We thank you for your understanding.
Store Hours: Tuesday - Friday 9am til 6pm Saturday 9am til 3pm summer hours Sunday - Monday Closed We will also be closed noon-1pm Tuesday through Saturday.
Seniors, 60 and above, receive a 10% discount on all purchases. Please mention that you are a senior to receive the discount - we are happy to give it to you!
Because we are small, we often run out of candies and it always seems to be the one that you wanted. This is especially true during the holidays. Please call during business hours (9-6 Eastern time) and we'll be happy to take your order. We can then tell you if there will be a wait to restock...and you can tell us exactly what you want. We do not have an answering machine so please call when we are open. Thanks!
