Calico Charlie’s
Candy & More
“It’s not just about candy. It’s about bringing people together and reminding them that joy still lives right here in our hometown.”
Pieces of Fostoria
The nickname
Charles Foster — the Ohio governor Fostoria is named after — was known as “Calico Charlie.” Our name keeps him close.
The keepsakes
Rescued local shelving, chandeliers, and a five-and-dime cart give the shop its one-of-a-kind feel.
The neighborhood
We partner with local farmers and small businesses whenever we can — it keeps the shop rooted in its hometown.
Treats Index
- Vintage & Retro Candy — wrappers you remember, flavors you never forgot

- Premium Popcorn — from Buckeye Family Farms, a favorite local grower
- Gifts & Local Finds — presents with hometown character
The selection turns over often — consider the index an invitation rather than inventory.
“But we opened a candy store. We expect joy and excitement. That’s what this place is for.”— Kristin VanCuren Koester, owner
