To The Moon Marketplace

To The Moon Marketplace has been selling sweets on Wilton Drive since February 15, 2005. The name is a nod to The Honeymooners. The owner explains that his parents are named Ralph and Alice, the family comes from Brooklyn, and his brother-in-law rose to superintendent at the bus depot there named for Jackie Gleason. With that many coincidences, the store name picked itself.

The store says it stocks thousands of different items, and candy is the heart of it: nostalgic and hard-to-find brands, bulk bins, more than 100 kinds of black licorice, dozens of dark chocolate bars and sugar-free choices. Many products are imported directly, and the snack and spread aisles draw on more than 60 countries, from British crisps to Dutch wafers.

Beyond the sweets, the shelves hold hard-to-find groceries and regional sodas, classic tin and wooden toys, pop-culture collectibles and more than 2,000 greeting cards. The store says it is open every day of the year, and it stays open late on Friday and Saturday nights.
