Briefs July 14, 2005 New candy store offers old-fashioned favorites The Good Ship Lollipop, a new candy store at 9 Beach Road in Vineyard Haven, tempts shoppers with a sweet voyage through a bounty of treats from past and present. Music playing in the store includes sweets-themed selections, such as “The Lollipop Kid,” to set the mood for a trip to memories of candy past, such as Mary Jane’s, Squirrels, circus peanuts, candy buttons and wax lips, to name a few. Fudge, ice cream novelties, popcorn, pretzels and drinks round out the selection for those with a more modern taste. Sugar-free fudge and candies also are available. In addition, the store offers balloons, gifts, and toys. Storeowner Marguerite Cook will be a familiar face to many. She served as the Oak Bluffs tax collector.
