A Lil’ History

There’s not a ton of information out there about the origin of the shop but here is what we do know:

  1. The original owner’s names were Dusty & Ava Rhodes. Süsswaren Candy Shop (now Das Sweet Shoppe) was established around 1974 (educated guess).

  2. The shop was sold to Tim and Janet Smith around 1993. They remodeled the shop and pushed the wall further back to make room for lots more candy!

  3. The shop was then sold to Missy and Kelly Dean around the year 2000.

  4. In 2020 the shop was sold to Missy’s daughter Sydney and her husband, turning Das Sweet Shoppe into a family business.
