My mom was on a hunt for jelly beans and we found this shop in Peddler’s Village as we were getting ready to leave for the day. Two seconds later — and I literally mean two seconds later — the sky opened up and hoards of people raced inside for shelter.

Meanwhile, my mom could be found on the lower level of the shop happily filling up a custom bag of jelly beans from the wide selection. Skip’s also sells a bunch of soda, chocolate creations, fudge, and classic candies and mints. If you want to gain a few pounds or buy someone a sweet gift, you’ve found your spot!

And if you need help, you’ll get it. Despite the crowd, all staff members we encountered were on the ball and extra friendly. I even caught one smiling toward the window at the brewing storm. They were THAT happy.

Eventually we gave up on snagging a break from the rain and ran for the car. Skip’s isn’t all too far from the main parking lot, so that’s a big plus.
