This southern Indiana candy store could win best candy store in America award again | whas11.com.JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind.— An iconic, family-owned candy story in southern Indiana is asking for votes to repeat their win as the best candy store in America.Schimpff's Confectionery, which has been operating in historic downtown Jeffersonville for the past 135 years, was voted the best independent candy store in the nation last year.The locally owned store is known for selling a wide variety of sweets ranging from their world-famous red hots to toffee, and Modjeskas.The business also features a deli lunch counter, an authentic 1950's soda fountain and a candy museum.Now, Schimpff's Confectionery is asking the public to vote for them once again so they can defend their title."We were honored that people across America and the world voted for Schimpff's Confectionery last year," said Steve Shepherd, affectionately known as 'Cousin Steve,' the fifth generation of the Schimpff's family to run the business."We wanted to defend our sweet title, and so we are kindly asking everyone to vote for us online again.Last year was amazing, but this year we marked 135 years in business, so a repeat win would be a little extra cinnamon on the red hot." Jeffersonville Main Street, the downtown revitalization organization, is also encouraging people to vote for Schimpff's Confectionery."Schimpff's Confectionery has been here since 1891 and it's the anchor of Downtown Jeffersonville," said Jay Ellis, Executive Director of Jeffersonville Main Street."They're such a positive force and they and bring so many people to our downtown district.Schimpff's is a great ambassador for our community, and people always leave there with smiles and good memories of both their business and Jeffersonville." Voters can cast their vote for Schimpff's Confectionery once every day through June 8.
