Bulk candy...where can I buy some?

[get ur grub on]

I went to Ben Myerson Candy Company, in downtown LA, last week (on a tip from a fellow Chowhound) and there was a sign up that read Not selling candy and candy store closed.

I'm looking to buy some candy in bulk (peach rings, chocolate covered gummy bears, novelty candy, m+m's, etc.) for an event. I would like to have a candy table where guests could make their own candy bags, like at Sweet Factory in the malls.

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Look up Garvey candy online. It has a warehouse right near the citadel. Lots of fun to visit. They ship, too.

There is a bulk candy store on Marine Avenue/Balboa Island.

Venice Farms has bulk candy in plastic containers by the pound (Centinela & Jefferson), Cost Plus, 99 cents store and Big Lots are retailers where you can find good deals on candy (movie theatre boxes, etc.)

Go to the L.A. Farmer's Market. There's bulk candy there, plus a bunch of other stuff.

Smart & Final is where alot of the Little Leauge and other "snack bar" places get bulk. Pretty good selection of all that strange gummy stuff- some indiviual wrapped for "re-sale" and some just in tubs
