History

Lauren was inspired to create the store, which is asserted to be the "largest unique candy store in the world", by the Roald Dahl story of Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory.[2] Lauren said that her goal was to "merge fashion, art and pop candy culture".[3] It stocks 7,000 candies from around the world.[4] The design and image were produced by original Creative Director Mayumi Ando.[5][6] Dylan's Candy Bar has also partnered with Holt Renfrew in Vancouver, British Columbia in a co-branding effort.[7]
At its peak, the company had more than twenty locations.[8] The Upper East Side flagship location on 60th Street and 3rd Avenue closed in 2021 after financial difficulties.[9] The locations in Miami Beach and Honolulu also closed.[10][11]
In 2025, Dylan's announced it had collaborated with Wheel of Fortune by releasing a collection of Wheel-themed candies.[12]
