With three locations in Ohio, there's no other candy shop quite like Grandpa Joe's—and when you enter, you'll quickly see why.
No matter how much candy you can stuff into their $5 box it still costs $5. No matter how much the box weighs, no matter how crammed it is...if you can fit it with the lid closed, it's $5.
The whimsical atmosphere of the store will instantly make you feel like a kid again—and with more than 100 varieties in candies to choose from, it won't take long to fill up your $5 box.
This Pittsburgh-based shop is locally owned, so it's easy to feel like family while you're here. Ohio's other two shops are located in Chillicothe and Miamisburg.
In addition to all the classic candies, you'll find some truly unique novelties, such as coffee flavored cotton candy.
