  • The World Famous $5 Candy Buffet: Fill a box with all the bulk and nostalgic candy you can pack for just five dollars!
  • Unique Treats and Sodas: Find an extensive selection of craft sodas, international treats, and, yes, our viral flavors like Pickle Cotton Candy and Ketchup Soda.
  • A Happy Place: We are building on the beloved legacy of the former Blue Sun Soda Shop, even retaining staff members who ensure the same great soda experience.

Christopher J. Beers, Founder and Owner of Grandpa Joe’s Candy Shop, celebrated the opening, calling it a “significant achievement for our team” and emphasizing the excitement of introducing our wide variety of treats to the Bloomington community.
