The Charming Mississippi Candy Store That’s Sure To Satisfy Your Sweet Tooth

Years ago, candy shops could be found just about anywhere. Today, they’re much less common, but they do still exist, and you can find one in the small town of Poplarville. Named Mia’s Sweet Box, the vintage candy shop is practically overflowing with sweet treats and a whole lot of charm! Take a look:

Opened in the fall of 2017, Mia’s Sweet Box is located in downtown Poplarville, MS.

Inspired by candy shops of yesteryear, Mia’s Sweet Box is sure to delight the young and old alike.

Inside, you’ll feel like a kid in a candy store as you take a look around and find shelves stocked with all sorts of treats.

Sure to bring about some feelings of nostalgia, the sweet selection features candies adults will surely remember from their childhood, including rock candy, Pop Rocks, root beer barrels, wax lips, and more.

And just like in the candy shops of the past, customers at Mia’s Sweet Box can peruse the jars of candy and fill up a bag with all their favorites.

The tasty assortment includes more than old-fashioned treats, though.

In addition to gift baskets and a variety of unique treats that can’t be found anywhere else in Pearl River County…

…the shop also carries locally made fudge, baked goods and products from Mississippi companies, such as Mississippi Cheese Straw Factory and Yazoo Toffee Company.

As if it couldn’t get any sweeter, the shop also has an event room to host candy-making classes and candy art parties.

To fully experience all Mia’s has to offer, a visit to the shop is a must. However, if you can’t make it to Poplarville, the shop can ship boxes across the country.
