Mansfield, OH

In 2025, Grandpa Joe’s opened its doors in Mansfield, where the best escape isn’t from Shawshank — it’s straight into our candy shop! Located in the former Caldwell & Bloor Company Building, you’ll find us surrounded by local legends, from the Gothic towers of the Reformatory to the hand-carved horses of the Richland Carousel. Inside, you’ll be greeted by shelves overflowing with nostalgic candy favorites, over 350 varieties of old-fashioned glass-bottled soda, gourmet hand-crafted chocolates, and hand-scooped ice cream, milkshakes, and floats. Add in a few charming toys and a dash of imagination, and every visit feels like stepping into something truly magical. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, consider this your parole to candy paradise.
