U.S. Rep. Jim Himes Visits New Canaan’s Candy Shop, Local Businesses Friday

New Canaan sisters Lauren (NCHS ’06) and Megan (NCHS ’09) Palladino opened The Candy Scoop down “the alley” at the top of Elm Street in November, just before Thanksgiving. The pair long had discussed the prospect of launching a business, and settled on candy, Megan said, “because there are so many things you can do with it.”

“There’s really no ceiling on the opportunities. We have the retail store, and we provide so many services. Candy buffets, dessert stations. We have the cotton candy machine that we rent out.
