Last night, my family was driving up Hwy 169 back to St. Paul from visiting family in southern Minnesota. And it's hard to miss THIS while driving through Jordan, MN:
 |
| "MINNESOTA'S LARGEST CANDY STORE" along Hwy 169 about 40-45 mins south of the Metro. |
 |
| Stockpiled with all kinds of sweetness. |
 |
| SODA!! |
 |
| MORE SODA! |
 |
| YET MORE SODA! |
 |
And this is ALL ROOT BEER. They have a sign that boasts "191 kinds of root beer."
(When we were there a year ago, they only had 92 kinds of root beer, so someone's been busy.) |
 |
| My son and lots of pumpkins. |
 |
| The flat-roofed section in the foreground was added since last year - it just keeps getting bigger! |
I left with a piece of candy for my son, some Cow Tales and some "Fizzies Grape Drink" for me...
... and 10 different kinds of root beer:
We found out that they are
open until December 1st, and their hours are
9 a.m. - 7 p.m. every day. (They don't have a website and it's hard to find info on this place - the owner is older and "old school" like that.) But if people are around, they'll stay open later - we got there at 7:40 p.m. and the place was still hopping. They said they were going to be closing at 9 p.m. that night.
Check back soon for reviews of these root beers... I have one waiting in the fridge for me tonight.
And check out more photos on my other blog (including photos of their "bacon" section!).
I just spent an hour driving down there only to find out is closed for the season. very disappointing for the grandkids on spring break. looking at web pages about the place said that they were open 9 to 7.
ReplyDeletethey are closed during the winter. they reopen before summer. take them on summer break, it wont be a disappointing trip the second try!
