If these rich women from 5th Avenue spend a fortune on cashmere sweaters, they will come to my store to buy gummy bears.

Candy is childhood, the best and bright moments you wish could have lasted forever.

I know everything about candy. Would you believe I even know where to find gumballs in the middle of Africa?
