    • ]]>     Wakarusa, Indiana is a part of struggling Elkhart County.  So it’s even more amazing that Wakarusa Dime Store has been in business since 1907 (with the last changing of hands back in 1995) !  Just try not to run up and down the candy-filled aisles grabbing every shiny, colorful, candy-containing package in sight!

    Wakarusa Dime Store Giant Jelly Beans Row after row of old favorites: Apple Heads  and candy necklaces, Candy Buttons, Big League Chew Bubble Gum, and the whole gummy gambit: from cheeseburgers to rats (gross), as well as some things I hadn’t seen before, will make anyone with a  sweet tooth revert back to an 8 year old with free reign and a couple bucks in his pocket.

    They boast quite the claim to fame: the giant jelly bean.  While I am normally not that big a fan of jelly beans, turning them into these Goliaths has made me a believer – and an addict!  They have quite a variety of flavors.  Random fact: giant jelly beans were once enjoyed by Ronald Reagan as a way to kick a smoking habit.

    Seriously, if you are in the area, or even if you aren’t!, you have got to hit the Wakarusa Dime Store.  For store hours, questions, and to get those big jelly beans shipped to your door (brilliant!) hit up their website.
