Happy Summer from Candy Quest ☀️🍬

We hope everyone is having a wonderful summer so far! While the shop may be quiet right now (for now, trust us!), we’ve loved seeing so many of you continue to follow along and support us.

We also wanted to share that our haunted yard will be returning again this fall at our home! 🎃 Many of you actually met us for the first time through the haunt before ever visiting Candy Quest, so it feels really special to continue bringing a little spooky fun back to the community again this year.

After some difficult weather damage in 2024, we’ve been slowly rebuilding, planning, and working on new ideas for this Halloween season. We’re excited to share sneak peeks and updates as we get closer to fall!

Thank you all again for continuing to support our little corner of fun, nostalgia, candy, and creativity. We truly appreciate it more than you know. ❤️

It’s finally official. 💛

Seeing the announcement from the D300 Food Pantry makes it feel so real now. This moment is bittersweet for us, undeniably sad, but also incredibly meaningful and joyful knowing that we were able to give back to the community that has given us so much.

Donating our candy to support local families feels like the right way to close this chapter: with gratitude, care, and love for the place we call home.

As corny (and maybe a little cringey) as this sounds, this is not goodbye. It’s “a see you later.” Please keep us with you, because we’ll be back, and we can’t wait to share what’s next. 💕

Thank you for being part of our journey and our community.

Candy Quest a store in West Dundee, recently closed. Their owners Bill (pictured here) and Michelle Wright have donated product to the food pantry over the past few years. With the closing of their store they donated their remaining stock to the D300 Food Pantry. Our shoppers can look forward to enjoying these sweet treats over the next few months. Best of luck to the Wright’s in their future endeavors!

Slowly cleaning out the store has been harder than we ever imagined. 💔

If you’ve driven by recently, you may have noticed a HUGE change... there is zero candy left in our store.

While this moment is painful, we’re choosing to find meaning in it. We donated all of our candy, about $9,000 worth, to the D300 Food Pantry, giving it a second life and helping families right here in our community. 🍬❤️

Knowing our candy will bring smiles to others helps us smile a little through the hurt.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all the love and support you’ve shown us. This isn’t goodbye; we’ll be back shortly, and we wish each and every one of you a wonderful New Year. ✨

We will continue to update social media!

💛 Happy Holidays from Candy Quest 💛

As this year comes to an end, we want to thank each and every one of you who visited our store this year and last year. Your smiles, conversations, traditions, and support meant more to us than we can ever put into words. We miss seeing all of you more than you know.

Right now, we are getting ready to begin packing up the store, and it has been incredibly hard. One of the owners nearly cried yesterday just picking something up; it all holds so many memories. By the end of the year, the store will be cleaned out, and while we know it’s what needs to happen, it truly hurts.

That said, we are deeply grateful for the wonderful memories we made together. This shop was never just candy; it was connection, joy, and community. And this is not goodbye forever. Once our family member is back in good health, we fully intend to be back again.

Thank you for loving our little candy store as much as we did. We wish you a warm, peaceful holiday season and look forward to sweeter days ahead. 🍬✨

Today is the day. 💔

After so many memories, laughs, and adventures, Candy Quest is officially closing its doors tonight.

This isn’t easy to write, but we want to thank every single one of you who has supported us along the way, from the families who made us part of their weekend routine, to the kids who lit up when they saw their favorite candy, to the gamers who shared in our love of the classics.

If you’d like to stop by one last time, today’s your chance. Come say hi, share a memory, grab a sweet treat, and help us close out this chapter the way it deserves.

Thank you, truly, for being part of this journey with us. We’ll never forget it. 💜

🕷️💥 Local Hero on the Loose! 💥🕷️

Looks like Spider-Man had to swing out of here in a hurry… and he left something behind. 🕸️ A brave neighborhood hero’s wallet is waiting here at Candy Quest!

If you know a young web-slinger who’s missing their Spidey gear, send them our way so we can reunite them with their secret identity. 🦸‍♂️✨

Because even superheroes need lunch money.
