the way a Jewish person of the second wave of immigration described a candy story. It is an accent. But it described a store which had a soda fountain (specializing in a chocolate soda called an 'egg cream' which had neither eggs nor cream) and the store sold the latest newspapers, magazines, a wide variety of cheap candies and cigars and cigarettes. The owners were often toughened, wizened and fubsy little people with a strong ethnic accent.
There was a song about the candy stores of that era: (in a thick Yiddish accent)
Vuntz I had a kendy store
Bizniss vas so bad,
I asked mein vife vat to do
And dis is vat she said:
Take yourself some kerosene
Pour it on de floor
Take a match
Give a Scratch
No more kendy store, HEY!
Vuntz I had a kendy store
Bizniss vas so bad,
I asked mein vife vat to do
And dis is vat she said:
Take yourself some kerosene
Pour it on de floor
Take a match
Give a Scratch
No more kendy store, HEY!

Get the store boughtmug. a song from the soundtrack of the world cast recording of Heathers the Musical, sung by Jessica Keenan Wynn, Alice Lee and Elle McLemore.
“Candy Store” is a metaphor in the song for the luxuries and pleasures Heather Chandler is willing to offer Veronica Sawyer in exchange for her compliance to the clique. In exchange for luxury, Veronica must offer her skills of forgery.
