Hilton Head Candy Company

I got on here ready to write a review, thinking I'd be the only one to make mention of the "mean old lady" behind the counter - but it would appear I am not the only one who has had just an awful experience with her. I know the owner of this establishment through a mutual friend and it shocks me she allows this unkind and unfriendly woman to work for her. The customer service is non existent and no candy - that I can buy anywhere else - is worth getting treated like that. We live on the Island, so when we are in the neighborhood we like to get taffy to send it to friends up North - however, we won't be going back. Today was the last straw. Shame on the owners for allowing her to treat their paying customers this way.

We love this candy store! They have a bit of everything and their salted caramels are the best....so is their taffy...and the chocolate alligators....and their unique soda selection...

I had a wonderful experience with the candy store! There were so many options of candy!! The highlight of my visit was trying their salt water taffy, it was unlike any other taffy I'd had. None of that hard stuff, this salt water taffy was chewy and super flavorful! I'll be stopping by here next time I'm on the island for sure!!

The candy is good, but the woman working there, a mean old lady, is absolutely atrocious. She's as salty as the pretzels she's selling. We were planning on buying candy from her store today, but her attitude was so obnoxious that we left. Unlike the lady, the candy looked pretty nice. I hope today was just an off-day for her, but having read the other reviews, I highly doubt that. Edit: After walking by the shop later, we saw a different employee and she seemed considerably nicer, smiling at customers and being friendly. So, I've changed my rating.

Cute candy store but horrible customer service! The older lady behind the counter was so awful and mean to us, I was tempted to leave our bags of candy and just go but knowing I would have some heartbroken kids, I bought the candy ($15 worth) and decided I will just never give them my business again! How can you work at a place meant to be fun and happy but be so ugly to people...it definitely put a damper on our day.
