Our Story
A shop built for
the candy-curious.
We opened Purple Penguin with a simple idea: a place where candy isn't just sold — it's presented like something worth slowing down for. Every jar, every bag, every piece of taffy is chosen with intention.
Whether you're after a childhood favorite, a unique gift, or just something sweet to brighten your afternoon, we've got a corner for you. No rush. No judgment. Just good candy in a space that feels like a welcome.
What We Offer
The candy case
Bulk Candy
Choose your own mix from our rotating selection of hard candies, gummies, chocolates, and sour treats — weighed and bagged to order.
Handcrafted Confections
Small-batch truffles, caramels, and taffies made with quality ingredients and a whole lot of patience.
Nostalgic Favorites
The classics you remember — and some you never knew you missed. Perfect for collectors and gift-givers alike.
Gifts & Bundles
Pre-made gift bags, custom assortments, and curated boxes for any occasion. We'll wrap it beautifully.
