The Candy Space, A Brand-New Concept in Candy, Lifts-Off in Lake George

LAKE GEORGE — Chad Rabinovitz, former Producing Artistic Director of Adirondack Theatre Festival, announces his newest venture: The Candy Space, an innovative space-themed sweets destination at French Mountain Commons Outlets. 

With an in-store candy launch system, The Candy Space takes retail to uncharted territory.  Customers can fill a space pouch with a selection of 180 bulk candy items.  Then using the launch panel, they will send their purchase soaring into the star-filled ceiling and throughout the store, safely landing at the checkout counter.  Little ones can even choose a plush toy and turn their new stuffed animal into an astronaut (with the flight wings to prove it).

“In theatre, I strive to give people an experience they can’t get anywhere else,” Rabinovitz said, in  a statement. “I’m on the same mission with The Candy Space.  I want this experience to be something truly unique and memorable for families. What could be more memorable than launching your own candy or stuffed animal in a rocket ship?” 

With a selection of over 1,000 candies, The Candy Space is filled with everything from nostalgic favorites and a large assortment of curated chocolates, to hard-to-find International candies and cocktail inspired gummy bears (think Buzz-ed Aldrins).

The one-of-a-kind shop also features an array of space toys and plush, and merchandise of astronomical proportions.  An e-commerce site is in the works to sell the store’s signature candy-filled rockets and a variety of Candy Flight Boxes for gift-giving. 

French Mountain Commons and the Log Jam Outlet Center are located at 1439 State Route 9 in Lake George.  For more information, visit www.fmcljo.com
