The Story
Savannah's most famous candy store, making pralines on marble slabs in full view of customers since 1973. The warm, buttery pralines handed out as free samples at the door are a Savannah rite of passage. Located in a converted cotton warehouse, the shop helped pioneer River Street's transformation from industrial decay to tourist destination.
