Good luck to Dick and Jane's
I visited the new Dick and Jane's General Store today and it was well worth the trip. The fudge is excellent, and the atmosphere is welcoming and fun. I had no idea that there were so many different colors of M&Ms or Jelly Beans, but Dick and Jane's certainly has every one.
Unfortunately, like most new businesses, Dick and Jane's leaves room for improvement in some areas. In particular, few items had price tags on them, and it was difficult to know how much any type of candy would cost you. Young kids who visit the store may find themselves purchasing $30 worth of candy without even knowing it. In a candy store, where the phrase "you touch it - you buy it" is so true, this is an unfortunate situation. One fairly small piece of fudge cost me nearly $10.00, without any sign or any staff member ever letting me know how much it cost.
Dick and Jane's is a great store in general, and I look forward to supporting them in the future. If you go, make sure to ask about their variety of different fudges, and ask for a free sample.
Update 2/6/10: Today I went to Dick and Jane's, and the prices still are not on the products. Additionally, one particular staff member was fairly rude and unwelcoming. This was a dramatic difference from the first time I visited less than a month ago.
