点评:This business may have great candy, but the question is how much are you willing to pay for it? Came in looking for great fudge and got it, for way more than my wallet could handle(around 3 dollars over Kilwin's price per 1/2 lb.)
Don't even get me started on the price of individual candies or chocolates!
I like the quality of their fudge, however the way they prepare their candies is completely unsanitary. They wrap caramels and dip strawberries and turtles with uncovered hands, and mold their freshly made fudge in the same manner. Who knows exactly what you're getting into when you enjoy your caramels!
The shop itself has shrunk in size, as they have barricaded half of their store off with a wall of plastic crates, making for a rather tight squeeze on a busy day. They also seem a bit understaffed, as I have been there at least on 4 separate occasions and have always been served by the same young man. Also, business hours tend to vary from the actual posted sign. Seems they like they tend to open whenever they feel like it!
I have nothing against this family owned business, however having been around for such a long time, you think they would have been able to hire outside workers, or even update the ancient interior a little to fix the old displays, ceiling tiles, or flooring. Too much dirt and candy bits stuck to floor corners, and dust hanging on old glass block windows. You can still retain the vintage look while making things look nice and clean!
Great candy just isn't enough to operate a business anymore, and believe this needs to be recognized in order for the shop to attain a clean, healthy, and productive candy making/selling environment.
翻译:这个行业可能有很多糖果,但问题是你愿意为此付出多少钱?进来寻找美味的软糖,结果买到了,价格远远超出了我的钱包承受能力(每 1/2 磅比 Kilwin 的价格高出约 3 美元)
甚至不要让我开始了解单个糖果或巧克力的价格!
我喜欢他们的软糖的质量,但是他们准备糖果的方式完全不卫生。他们用手包裹焦糖、浸入草莓和海龟,并以同样的方式塑造新鲜制作的软糖。谁知道当您享受焦糖时您会遇到什么!
商店本身的规模已经缩小,因为他们用一堵塑料板条箱围住了一半的商店,使得在忙碌的一天里显得相当拥挤。他们似乎也有点人手不足,因为我至少去过那里 4 次,而且总是由同一个年轻人服务。此外,营业时间往往与实际张贴的标志有所不同。看来他们喜欢随时开放!
我并不反对这家家族企业,但是已经存在了这么长时间,你认为他们应该能够雇用外部工人,甚至可以稍微更新一下古老的内饰来修复旧的显示器、天花板瓷砖或地板。地板角落粘着太多灰尘和糖果碎片,旧玻璃窗上挂着灰尘。您仍然可以保留复古外观,同时使事物看起来漂亮干净!
优质的糖果已经不足以经营一家企业,并且相信这一点需要得到认可,以便商店获得一个清洁、健康和高效的糖果制作/销售环境。
