The Candy Kid Description
Choose from a large selection of amazing candy: saltwater taffy, licorice from Spain, the Netherlands and Australia, hand made fudge, jawbreakers, cola balls and numerous unique candies- chicken bones, wax bottles and lips, and Lego candy. This is also lollipop heaven-we offer all shapes, sizes and colors!
We love helping you find that perfect candy for your special occasion. We love to supply bulk candy for buffets at weddings, fundraisers and charitable events. We have had wedding photos taken amongst the candy in our store and had a children's birthday party where the guests ran around filling up their own goodie bags. The most fun the children (and we) had was watching the children adding up their candy along the way and trying to stay on budget.
The Candy Kid started at the Calgary Farmers Market in Currie Barracks in 2004. It became a staple of the market and had many loyal followers who came in looking for their fix of licorice or fudge. The original owner, Ian Ferguson is now in his first year of medical school at the University of British Columbia and his mom Heather is now managing the store and using some of the proceeds to put her son through school. So thanks in advance for your business! It truly takes a community to raise a child and we appreciate your contribution!
