Doc Sweets’ Candy Company Clawson
Doc Sweets’ opened in November 2008 and Doc Sweets’ owner David Sklena told me the idea for his store was his vision based on the simple fact that he “always liked candy”.
This video from below is from inside the old location. Doc Sweets’ relocated in 2013… just down Rochester Road to its current location at 135 N Rochester Road.
When Sklena first decided to open Doc Sweets in 2008, he was amazed at the different kinds and amounts of candy that was actually available. Doc Sweets’ has access to so many candies, so the store keeps getting bigger and bigger. You can even order the candy featured at Doc Sweets’ Candy Company via their website but a trip to the Doc Sweets store is worth the drive.
