MANSFIELD — Grandpa Joe’s Candy Shop will officially open its doors in downtown Mansfield on Thursday at 4:05 p.m. at 80 W. Third St.
Located in the historic Caldwell & Bloor Building, the nearly 4,000-square-foot store is packed wall-to-wall with nostalgic candy, international snacks, trending favorites, bulk selections, toys, games, and more than 350 varieties of old-fashioned glass-bottled sodas – plus hand-scooped ice cream, milkshakes, and floats to top it off.
Guests will also find gourmet hand-crafted chocolates and a wide assortment of treats, making the new shop a can’t-miss stop for candy lovers of all ages.
Grandpa Joe’s Candy Shop specializes in those hard-to-find candies from your childhood –
the ones that make people stop and say, “I haven’t seen those since I was a kid,” or “I feel
like a kid in a candy store.”
From shelves lined with long-lost classics to the World Famous $5 Candy Buffet, Grandpa Joe’s offers an experience that blends old-school fun with new discoveries.
“We’re proud to bring Grandpa Joe’s to Mansfield,” said Christopher J. Beers, founder and CEO of Grandpa Joe’s Candy Shop.

Grandpa Joe’s Candy Shop offers a welcoming atmosphere where families, friends, and visitors can explore thousands of treats, gifts, and curiosities.
The Mansfield store also features stunning hand-painted art that captures the spirit of the community. Whether you’re stopping in for a bottle of soda, a scoop of ice cream, or a candy you haven’t seen in decades, Grandpa Joe’s is designed to make every visit memorable.
