Some of the worldѻýs most tasty sweets can now be found in the heart of Penticton.

Exotix Candy, a franchise that can be found in parts of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Vancouver, officially opened for business in the 500-block of the cityѻýs downtown core Monday morning, Feb. 7.

Like an old, quaint candy shop from another era, high school students flooded the shop during their lunch hour to see what makes Pentictonѻýs newest business so unique.

Offering drinks and snacks that canѻýt be found just anywhere in Canada, the store has proven to be a smash hit early in its existence.

Josh Franks, the owner of the cityѻýs newest shop, says his business has seen a steady load of eager customers looking to get their hands on some of the worldѻýs most famous treats.

The born and raised Pentictonite couldnѻýt be more thrilled with his early success.

The storeѻýs inventory is inspired by sweets from across the globe, from as close as the United States to as far as Eastern Asia.

Exotix Candy is located next to Sushi Heaven, north of White Avenue on Main Street.
