The candy wall

Shelf rails run the length of the wall, packed with imported novelty candy — gummies, chocolate bars, lollipops, boxed sweets. Beside them: retro tins, novelty boxes and freezer pops. It's a wall you read, not a shelf you scan.

There's a chalkboard by the counter with that heading on it. What's written under it is made here: fudge, caramel, marshmallows, hard candy, bark.
