Inside the shop

Eighteen bins of fresh-popped flavors behind the counter, a wall of old-fashioned candy, Pop Rocks and hand-swirled lollipops — and a signature wall the kids have been filling up since day one.

Questions we hear at the counter

Where is Kernels & Kandies located?

Kernels & Kandies is at 714 N. Main St. Suite B in downtown Spearfish, South Dakota, right on the Main Street strip. We're a short drive from Spearfish Canyon and about 20 minutes from Deadwood, which makes us an easy stop on a Black Hills day trip. Current hours are always posted on our Google Business Profile and Facebook page.

What does Kernels & Kandies sell?

We make small-batch gourmet popcorn and sell old-fashioned candy from our shop in Spearfish, South Dakota. Our popcorn runs to more than 40 flavors, from caramel, cheddar and kettle corn to dill pickle and huckleberry, all popped in-store. The candy side carries nostalgic sweets, Pop Rocks, hand-swirled lollipops and novelties. We also build custom gift baskets and popcorn tins for holidays, weddings and corporate gifting, and we ship nationwide.

Do you ship your popcorn and candy?

Yes, we ship gourmet popcorn, candy and gift tins to all 50 states. Popcorn is bagged fresh the day it goes out rather than pulled from stock, and gift baskets are assembled the day they ship. Local customers in Spearfish can also order ahead and pick up in-store at no charge.

Are you a good stop for families and visitors to the Black Hills?

Yes. Kernels & Kandies is a downtown Spearfish stop that works for kids and adults alike: fresh popcorn samples, a candy wall with Pop Rocks and giant lollipops, and a signature wall kids sign on the way out. Most visitors spend 10 to 15 minutes with us, which makes it an easy addition to a Spearfish Canyon drive, a Sturgis or Deadwood day trip, or an afternoon on Main Street.
