Airport retailer signs license with candy store

January 27, 2012


The Paradies Shops has found an answer to all your jet-lag needs: candy.

Atlanta-based The Paradies Shops has signed an exclusive license agreement to operate Dylan’s Candy Bar specialty stores in airport concession programs throughout the United States and Canada.

“Dylan's Candy Bar is truly a sweet addition to The Paradies Shops’ family of brands and we are honored to partner with this premier candy company,” says Gregg Paradies, president and ceo.

Dylan’s Candy Bar, known for merging the worlds of art, fashion and pop culture with candy, offers the world’s largest assortment of candy, chocolate and candy- inspired apparel, jewelry and accessories.

“We are excited to offer airports a creative retreat where customers can step into modern day Candy Land, escape the hustle and bustle of the day and indulge in the world’s finest candies, confections and apparel,” says Paradies.

The Paradies Shops was established in 1960 and has been named Best Airport Retailer for the past 16 consecutive years by Airport Revenue News. With over 550 stores in the United States and Canada, The Paradies Shops has partnerships with brands like CNBC News, PGA TOUR Shops, Brooks Brothers, Brighton Collectibles, PANDORA, Harley-Davidson, and The New York Times Bookstores.
