Optimist Hall’s sweet new tenant offers classic candy favorites

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Atlanta-based Collier Candy Company is joining the tenant lineup at Optimist Hall.

The shop is next to Zukku Sushi and Xiao Bao.

Established in 2015, Collier Candy Company offers an eclectic mix of new and vintage candy focusing on hard candy, chocolates and premium sodas. In addition to a mix of regional lines like Poppy Pop Corn from Asheville, the shop features classic brands like Charleston Chews, Bubble Gum Cigarettes and Cigars, and Chick-O-Stick, to name a few.

“2020 has been a difficult year and I’m sure we can all use a little bright spot here and there. We’re excited to announce a new bright spot at Optimist Hall,” the food hall’s owner Merritt Lancaster said in a news release.

This is the candy company’s first venture outside of the Atlanta area, and the 22nd tenant to open in Optimist Hall.
