At DailyCandy, we love to see our discoveries “go big,” if you will.

So lo and behold, the team and I were thrilled to hear that one of our favorite SF boutiques, The Candy Store (which we first covered in 2007 and which I would too often cruise into for a sugar fix when I lived in SF), is part of The Shops at Target concept launching this weekend. The Shops showcase wares from small, stylish boutiques from around the country — giving Russian Hill’s classic candy wonderland national exposure.

The Candy Store’s collection at Target includes giant, retro-inspired lollipops and plastic jars full of nostalgic treats (gumballs, malted milk balls, black licorice shaped like Scotties).

What can we say except: Sweet. — Karen, senior editor
