Economy Candy

No ratings yet
Wonka's got nothing on them

Economy Candy began as a shoe and hat repair shop which had a push cart outside that sold candy. When the Depression hit in the 30s the candy cart started bringing in more business than the shoe store and in 1937 the business transformed into Economy Candy. When Morris “Moishe” Cohen and his brother in law returned from World War II they took over the business and expanded into selling candy, chocolate, gift baskets, dried fruit, nuts and more.
