Q&A: Candy in Bulk
Q: I’ve been a fan of your’s for years. Love your book, blog and in particular, enjoy listening to you when you’re on Tommy’s show on CJAD. You are always so informative and caring!
Where can I find a retail or wholesaler who sells sugary candy like liquorice, twizzlers… My son is having a fundraiser for his high school grad and we’re looking for a place to buy the candy at a good price.
A: You can buy in bulk at wholesaler grocer like Mayrand. They sell to depanneurs and restaurants as well as to you and me. Here’s the place on my site for details and location: http://www.smartshoppingmontreal.com/store.php?s=43
Or for a retailer that sells lots of candy, there is Biscuiterie Oscar on Ontario or St Hubert, found on page 113 in my book. Then there are bulk food stores like Bulk Barn in the Marche de l’Ouest or Papillon in the Plaza Pointe Claire. If it’s for a school, perhaps the retailers might give you a break.
