When Candy
met
Frozen Yogurt
Shop owner caters
to unique taste buds
A local resident brings her own unique flavor to the Woodlawn
Neighborhood through her self-serve yogurt and candy shop,
which provides healthy inexpensive options while serving local
residents deserts catered to their own unique taste buds.
Candy Korner Balloon shop opened in January 2010, founded by
Edy Jones and her family.
The shop provides innovated deserts, including several gourmet
chocolates, retro candy, saltwater taffy, chocolate covered potato
chips and self serve yogurt with a variety of toppings.
According to Edy, the store is like a story that begins with a
sample cup and ends with som eone’s favorite assortment of
different flavors of frozen yogurt and toppings in a large cup.
“We know it sounds unusual, but trust us when we say that one
bite will turn you into a fan-for-life,” she said.
Some of the offered flavors of the self-serve frozen yogurt
include: New York cheesecake, chocolate, sugar-free blueberry,
maple bacon, orchard cherries, apple pie, pumpkin, and red velvet,
which contain only 90 calories per serving and zero grams of fat.
Although the flavors are constantly changing, Edy said frozen
yogurt is much healthier than ice cream, and the shop offers non­
dairy and sugar-free sorbet.
Candy Korner is sure to please almost anyone!
Edy Jones welcomes customers to her Candy Korner shop
at 6720 N.E. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. in the Woodlawn
Neighborhood. She has been serving gourmet deserts and
frozen yogurt in a unique and healthy way since the doors
opened in January 2010.
