An additional 5,000 square feet have been added, making it the largest candy store in the world. Opened in September 2001 by Dylan Lauren, daughter of fashion icon <a href="http://fabsugar.com/tag/ralph+lauren">Ralph</a>, the store sells more than 5,000 varieties of candy - from bulk chocolate treats and gummy candies to 21 different colors of M&Ms and novelty sweets such as three-foot-tall lollipops and candy mobile phones. A real-life Candyland, Dylan's is a destination for kids and adults alike with its candy-themed clothing and jewelry, a private party room, and a soda shop. To celebrate the store's expansion, Dylan's hosted a grand reopening party earlier this week that brought out the child in all of its attendees, including yours truly! Here's my behind-the-scenes look at the fiesta. <div class='call_to_action'> <!-- gallery teaser --><a href="/2444223?page=0,0,0">View Slideshow ›</a><!-- /gallery teaser --> </div> <hr class=space> http://www.yumsugar.com/2444223#comment candy Katie Lee Joel Dylan's Candy Bar Tom Filicia Dylan Lauren Fri, 31 Oct 2008 05:30:57 -0700 partysugar http://www.yumsugar.com/2444223
