A while ago (could be 2, 3 or more years ago, I purchased small bags of popcorn at a candy store on Main Street in Chester (It wasn’t the Black River Candy Shoppe). I was thinking of driving to Chester (from Livingston) to get some more of this popcorn as little gifts for the children. Does anyone know if that store is still in business and what the name of it is (or was)?
Hi Susan, sorry to take so long to get back to you. I believe that shoppe is gone …so sorry
