Candy Hut closing

The edible Lego blocks, chocolate-covered Gummi bears and other novelty sweets offered by a family-owned kiosk in River Park Square will be gone come next month.

Candy Hut will be replaced by a new, larger kiosk by the owner of Boehm’s Chocolates & Flowers the week of June 2. Candy Hut had been on a month-to-month lease, and the change is part of keeping mall offerings “fresh and renewed,” said manager Stephen Pohl.

After about seven years in business in downtown Spokane — first in the Crescent Court Building, then in the first floor of the mall — Candy Hut’s future is uncertain, said employee Sandi Grove.

“It’s a very sad thing, because we’re closing June 1,” she said.
