Nestled in Omaha’s charming Old Market district, Hollywood Candy is more than just a candy store—it’s a whimsical journey through time. Since 2007, we’ve delighted visitors with our unique blend of retro charm and an unbeatable selection of sweet treats. From handmade fudge to vintage candy bars and international delicacies, we offer something for every sweet tooth. And with the largest selection of Jelly Belly flavors in Nebraska, candy lovers are in for a real treat!

Need to quench your thirst? Our cooler is packed with over 150 flavors of ice-cold soda pop, perfect for pairing with a snack from our 1950s-style Hollywood Diner, where you can enjoy classic comfort food and decadent ice cream.

But Hollywood Candy is more than just sweets—step inside our world of fun! Challenge your skills in our vintage pinball arcade, catch a flick in our retro movie theater (available for private parties), or explore the vast collection of movie memorabilia and quirky curiosities gathered by our owners over the decades. Everywhere you turn, there’s something new to discover!
