A beloved Boyertown destination for sweets and nostalgia has received national recognition after earning two top rankings in USA Today's 2026 10 Best Readers' Choice Awards.

The Peppermint Stick Candy Store & Ice Cream Parlor was named the No. 2 candy store in America and the No. 8 old-fashioned ice cream parlor in America, according to the annual readers' poll.

The honors place the Boyertown business among the nation's top destinations for candy and ice cream, highlighting its unique blend of classic treats, vintage charm, and family-friendly atmosphere.
