Candy is the best however the service today was not! Stopped in to purchase candy 25 minutes before close and the neon open sign was on display! The two clerks ignored my friend and I and one continued to have a lengthy conversation with a woman (it seemed she was not purchasing anything) who was standing in front of the bin of candy I wanted to purchase! The other clerk walked up to the front, ignored us as well and continued to wipe the scales! I finally asked to be waited on so we could get our candy! I was rudely told to get a bag or use the scoop. and get my candy so I asked the lady standing in front of the candy to step over a little so I could get what I wanted! Then put the scoop in the scale and both clerks ignored me! Finally my friend said could we just get our candy weighed and pay so we could leave!!!! Finally we were able to pay and leave! I am so sorry for only 2 stars nothing to do with the candy but when the store was clearly open but the clerks didn't want to serve us! No greeting or even an acknowledgement of being there is unacceptable! I realize employees are hard to find but just hiring a person to fill a position should be trained in customer service or not be employed!

Like most other reviewers, my stop here was a sentimental one: Ben Heggy's was my grandma's favorite candy shop when she grew up in Canton in the 1940s. But even without that connection, I truly adored this place! The set-up here is unlike anything I've ever seen, and assuming it hasn't changed much since it opened nearly 100 years ago, I can see how it would leave any kid wide-eyed and in love! All the candies are individually wrapped, and there's no display case separating them from customers. You grab a metal container, slip on some gloves, and grab what you like! Then, they weigh your selection, transfer the candies into a bag, and you pay at the counter. When my total was so much less than I expected, I took the container back and went down the line for a second round. The people working here were also so kind. They advised me on the most popular varieties and gave me all kinds of insider tips and stories that added to the small-town chocolate shop feel that was absolutely one-of-a-kind. You can order online for nation-wide shipping, but the in-store experience adds so much. I hope in 50 years, this place is still around so I can bring my future grandkids here to experience all that is Ben Heggy's too. Bonus: the chocolates were also really really good. The chocolate-covered caramels never even made it out of the car!
