Superior Nut & Candy Co

Wow I can’t even explain how amazing this place is. It’s like finding a treasure chest in the build of a building complex. This place being so much more than just candy and nuts there is heart, soul and attitude. Regular candy stores are sugar coated with people acting fake. While at superior you get real people. They have a personality and will give you they’re opinion. Walked in and was treated like a prince. Being a person of color it’s nice when you get the same treatment as white people in this world. This store was like skipping through a cloud with a heart full a joy and stomach full of love. ¹⁰⁄₁₀ would recommend this place and people.

I just can’t believe someone would give this place one star. This place is amazing, the gummy bears are the freshest Ive ever had. The customer service is just fine I agree with the person who wrote if your kind to the ladies they will be kind back.
Btw, I live in the area and it’s not like driving to Wisconsin as someone stated in a one star review (sounds like someone had a bad attitude the day they stopped in). It takes 20 minutes with no traffic to get to the area from wicker park. I think it would take much longer than that to get to Wisconsin.
Don’t let a couple of cranky pants discourage you from checking this place out, it truly is a hidden gem!

I was there today at 230 waiting for the woman to acknowledge that I was even there. she never acknowledged me, was busy waiting on another customer never said I’ll be right with you thinking maybe another employer would come out and wait on me so I walk out the door I had to be at work and no one there to wait on me I don’t think I’ll be coming back and I’ve been coming here for 20 years, customer service is horrible.

To my surprise Trader Joes had a recall on their (my favorite) walnuts recently and I’ve had to scramble to find a different supplier. I tried to replace them with pecans, but they’re just not the same, plus they’re pricey too, a small bag for $ 6! Yikes!
So I searched Unilocal for suggestions… and came up with Superior. Honestly, it should really be called Inferior! First it took forever to get there, I felt like I was driving to Wisconsin. Second, once I got there and saw their prices I wasn’t a happy camper. If this is suppose to be a wholesale place it doesn’t seem like it according to their prices. Third, their customer service. Not very friendly and not very busy… except one of the fixtures, I mean ladies, was too busy to wait on me? Why is it at Superior they do everything but wait on the customer’s? That’s the kind of place it is.
Skip this place, I’m going elsewhere.

This is a fun place to go to. They have bin after bin of candy. I like the cheap bags they put together. Most are 99 cents for a lb. I think its stuff they need to move to keep a fresh stock. You can’t get better prices on nuts and they’re always fresh. They also have the old penny candy.

Great place to come for bulk candy and nuts!
I come here when we need to do a «guess-​how-​many-​blank-​is-​in-​the-​jar» game for a party or a contest. Normally it’s jelly beans, jolly ranchers, or swedish fish that we use.
Good prices, good products.

Thanks Unilocal!I had been looking for bulk orange candy for the Halloween goody bags at my kids’ school. I looked online, but didn’t want to pay CRAZY shipping charges. I went to the sweet factory, and they wanted $ 11 PER POUND for jujubees. Ridiculous. Then I went on Unilocal and saw this place that is practically in my neighborhood. I found orange pumpkin shaped gumdrops for .99 a POUND! I bought 10 pounds for less than 1 pound at that stupid overpriced sweet factory! HOORAY. we also bought a couple ot Turtles and Ring pops for my kids… all for $ 13.25… We will DEFINITELY be back. They had everything, chocolate, bags of bulk candy, nuts, toffee, caramel corn, etc. What a great place. nothing fancy. no nonsense, fantastic prices. GO THERE!

Holy crap, I’ve completely missed the best candy store in my own back yard! In a store front of business services… I’m not quite sure what else is there — Polish shipping services???
Honestly, this place has like every type of candy you’re looking for — chocolate, gummy things, old fashioned… I have yet to see candy cigarettes but if I did I wouldn’t be surprised. Prices are pretty awesome too, and most of it is available by weight.
Note to new people — the machine that gives you the numbers is by the door — this place operates kinda like a deli. For the most part, you take a number and wander around if you aren’t the only one there. If the ladies behind the counter notice you, great — if not, stay close, make eye contact every now and then and wait… Be nice to the ladies behind the counter and you’ll get rewarded with tastes of things and also having them pull out «fresh» stuff for you. Being rude brings out the Candy Nazi in them, or having them ignore you all together.
I’m very excited to have found this place!
