The young owners (pictured below) of YOLO Rolled Ice Cream decided to expand their novel and successful business by combining YOLO with a wall-to-wall candy shop. I admire them for taking a dream, and turning it into a reality that we can all enjoy.
In 2026 they launched YOLO Candy Company, this makes it one of the most exciting sweet stops on the 76 strip! I personally love the fun New School vs. Old School candy selection.
The Expanded Candy Shop Experience
YOLO has seriously leveled up their candy game. Visitors can enjoy a pick & mix bulk candy selection. The big, colorful, taffy display feels a little like stepping into a classic candy emporium from our grandparent's day.
Probably what I like best though is the unique candy that is just plain fun! I mean, who doesn't love Bob Ross?
Even though I didn't buy one, the Icee candy made me smile. I remember it was always a treat to get an Icee when I was a kid shopping at K-Mart with my Mom.
You will also find Jelly Belly brand jellybeans and other delectable treats.
Expect:
- Hundreds of different candies and snacks
- Bulk bins perfect for filling bags with your favorites
- Nostalgic classics alongside modern treats
- Gummies, chocolates, sour candies, hard candies, and more
- Candy ideal for souvenirs or vacation snacks
The expansion allows families and groups to enjoy both fresh-made desserts and grab-and-go (or mix-and-match) candy in one convenient visit.
