penny candy store
Cheap confection retailer
A penny candy store is a small shop selling inexpensive candies and sweets, traditionally priced at a penny or just a few cents each.
The term evokes nostalgia for an earlier era when children could buy individual pieces of candy with pocket change: The old penny candy store had jars of licorice, lemon drops, and jawbreakers lined up on the counter.
Few such stores remain, but the phrase persists as a symbol of simpler times and childhood treats.
