Saratoga Candy Co. to make temporary move off Washington Street
N.Y. » Saratoga Candy Co. is taking a small, temporary trip around the corner to Broadway.
The shop, which has inhabited 5 Washington St. in downtown Saratoga Springs since 1998, announced in a press release that it will be moving to 353 Broadway (underneath the Salt and Char restaurant) in November.
The owners of the building are providing the candy store a temporary space as they redevelop the existing 5 Washington St. property.
Upon completion, the building owners will provide a new spot for the local business, back on Washington Street.
While the space on Broadway is new and exciting, it is too small to hold a kitchen that the Candy Co. requires. However, customers need not worry. All items will be made down the street in cooperation with The Adelphi Hotels professional kitchen at 41 Washington St.
Although Saratoga Candy Co. owner Dawn Oesch is sad to lose the space she has loved for so long, she is thankful that the new building landlords from The Adelphi Hotel are considerate of her little neighborhood shop in their plans, she said in the release.
Now in her 24th year in business, Oesch is excited to be able to keep the consistency that locals and tourists alike have known and loved throughout the years, including the shop’s signature fresh fudge, chocolates, nostalgic candies and the iconic Peppermint Pig.
A “candy train” of friends and family will help move Saratoga Candy Co. around the corner — counted at only 32 steps away — as soon as they get the go-ahead from the new landlords next month.
