Did you also grow up painfully envious of the kids in Charlie and The Chocolate Factory? Well, as long as you live in or are visiting Alberta, you can live your Willy Wonka fantasy when giant US candy chain It’Sugar opens its first and only Canadian location in West Edmonton Mall.

Known for its over-the-top displays, exclusive flavours and novelty offerings, this beloved retailer was founded in 2006 and has since grown to 100 stores across 26 states – making it one of the largest specialty candy retailers in the entire world.
