When
Candyland opened its doors in downtown St. Paul in 1932, it was called Flavo
Korn and sold mainly popcorn to office workers and the throngs that lined up
outside the many sparkling downtown movie palaces. Streetcars plied the brick-paved
streets before giving way to buses, and the corner of Wabasha and Seventh Streets
was considered the heart of St. Paul and the city’s own movie row. The movie
theaters and streetcars are long gone, but over the years, Candyland has survived
momentous social change and urban revitalization efforts to become a
destination for generations of visitors lured by the store’s signature popcorn
blends and delectable homemade chocolates and fudge.
