If you happen to be traveling through Ohio this summer, take a detour to Bryan and the Spangler Candy Store and Museum. Bryan is a little off the beaten path, just south of I-80/90 between South Bend, Ind. and Toledo. Spangler is famous for Dum Dums® pops.
When you get there, you can enjoy a ride on the Dum Dums Trolley and learn how they make Dum Dums®, Saf-T-Pops®, Spangler® Circus Peanuts, and Spangler® Candy Canes!
The trolley takes visitors on a tour through the warehouse and packing areas. Visitors will be amazed by the amount of candy produced at the factory; 10 million Dum Dums per day, 1.5 million Candy Canes per day, and over 500,000 Saf-T-Pops per day!
The museum features historical information in a timeline fashion, along with samples of products and other artifacts from years past. A video history of the company runs continuously in the museum. Through the museum experience visitors will learn how the company grew from one man and some baking powder to the world-class hard candy company it is today.
The store offers Spangler products including single flavored Dum Dums containers, bulk Dum Dums and Saf-T-Pops, and Candy Canes and Circus Peanuts. Also featured are new Dum Dums t-shirt designs, Dum Dums flip flops, and other cool new Dum Dums accessories. Visitors are welcome to taste test never-before-seen flavors from the lab.
Summer hours are Monday through Friday 10 a.m. to 3 p.m through August. Fall, winter and spring hours are Wednesday through Friday 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The Spangler Candy Store & Museum is located at 400 N. Portland St., Bryan, OH 43506.
