Issue 03

Candy connoisseurs in need of variety can uncover 500 types of hard-to-find artisanal confections from around the world at The Candy Store SF.  Located in San Francisco’s Russian Hill neighbourhood and inspired by the design of old pharmacies (with a modern twist, of course), Diane Campbell launched her business, together with her husband Brian, in 2007 resulting from a lifelong love of candy and a childhood desire to run her own store.

The most popular candies include sour gummies and black liquorice. Once, Diane received a request for candy to match someone’s sofa.
