Here’s a closer look at why this iconic candy shop is a must-visit destination and how it became a cornerstone of Brown County’s charm.

A Legacy of Sweetness

The story of the Heritage Candy Store begins with its building, originally a furniture store called The Heritage Shop, owned by Charlie and Eva May in the 1950s.

• In the early 70s, Eva May transformed the space into the Heritage Mall, a collection of retail shops that quickly became a beloved local destination.

• Among these shops was the Nashville Candy Store, established by family friends Joe Rafferty and Lee Howery.

Decades of Delicious Memories

Over the years, the candy store became a staple of the mall, offering handmade fudge, brittle, and a wide variety of chocolates and candies.

• Under the ownership of Margaret Allender, the store thrived for 35 years, expanding its offerings and building a reputation as one of Nashville’s sweetest spots.

• In 2018, the Percifield family took ownership, giving the shop a thoughtful renovation and renaming it the Heritage Candy Store to honor its deep connection to the Heritage Mall.

Handcrafted Treats with Heart

What makes the Heritage Candy Store truly special is its dedication to quality and tradition.

• They still use the original fudge recipes that customers have loved for decades, alongside newer flavors like Cookie Dough and Dark Chocolate with Caramel and Sea Salt.

• Their brittle selection includes Peanut, Cashew, and Pecan varieties, all made in-house for maximum freshness.

• With 15-20 rotating fudge flavors, there’s always something new and delicious to try.
