The Largest Candy Store in New Jersey Has More Than 10,000 Types of Candy

Did you know that we have the world's largest candy store in New Jersey? Thanks to the American Dream Mall, the Garden State can expect a variety of world-class attractions. The mega-mall is home to record-breaking amusement parks, the world's steepest roller coaster, and plenty more to marvel at. One of these marvels is a massive candy store like nothing you've ever seen before. IT'SUGAR isn't just the largest candy store in New Jersey, it's the largest non-production candy shop on Earth. When it comes to the selection at one of the largest things of its kind in New Jersey, you'll be downright gobsmacked.

The chocolate department store occupies 22,000 square feet across 3 stories in the Meadowlands American Dream Mall. Welcoming visitors into the shop is a 3-story Statue of Liberty made out of Jelly Belly jelly beans. IT'SUGAR is located between Nickelodeon Universe and DreamWorks Waterpark. It opened in December of 2020.

It offers a larger-than-life candy experience that will make children and adults alike feel like kids in a candy store, wide-eyed and filled with wonder. There are over 10,000 types of candy to choose from, from brands like Hershey's, Sour Patch Kids, Oreo, Nerds, Reese’s, Wrigley's, Mars, Peeps, PEZ, and Starburst. From chocolate candies to gummies, there's something for everyone with a sweet tooth.

The first floor offers what's likely the world's largest selection of bulk candy. The second floor covers all the major candy brands, including over-sized sweets. The third floor features loads of surprises and the selection will rotate. You can expect to find candy from all over the world, like Kit-Kats from Japan, and plenty of Pocky. Even the biggest candy connoisseur will find something they haven't heard of. A great place for gift shopping, they also offer novelties, specialty drinks, liquor-flavored candy, and collections centered around pop culture phenomena like Harry Potter and Stranger Things (an IT'SUGAR exclusive).

A real-life Candyland, this candy shop can't be missed. Though IT'SUGAR is a chain, it got its start in Atlantic City, New Jersey back in 2006. It's only fitting that they'd open up the world's largest candy store in New Jersey! Are you excited to visit and shop all things sweet? I can't wait!
