First, Not So Sweet News…
Wertz Candies has been a staple in our courtyard of specialty shops for the past twenty years. There is no telling how many sugared up and sticky faced happy children (and adults) have crossed the threshold of this shop over the past two decades. While we are sad to announce that Wertz Candies will be closing their Brickerville location in early 2022, we are thrilled to announce there are some very sweet plans for the future of the space they called home!
Now, The Sweet News…
Lorah’s Handmade Chocolates & Gifts will be joining Bricker Village! This family business started over 50 years ago when Ruth Lorah founded Lorah’s Candies in nearby Denver, PA. Ruth quickly built a loyal following for her fine handmade chocolates in and around Lancaster County.
In 2009, Ruth’s great niece Maria (Lorah) Harvey took over the candy business, renaming it Lorah’s Handmade Chocolates. Since that time, Maria has been handcrafting over 100 different flavors of delectable chocolates out of Mohnton, Berks County and is excited to bring her chocolates back to Lancaster County with a retail store here in Bricker Village.
