Economy Candy, a third-generation family-operated business, was originally a repair shop that sold candies in front of the store. When the Depression hit, candy was what consumers wanted, and thus Economy Candy was established. WWII veterans, Morris "Moishe" Cohen and his brother-in-law took over the business and managed it alongside Morris's Family. Morris's son, Jerry, operated the store until 2013, then Mitchell Cohen and his wife took over.
