Below is a candy store out in the countryside.  People drive here to buy special candies of many types which are fairly expensive.  There are no buses from the town and city areas out to the countryside.  People do not walk or ride around for transportation, they drive their cars.  The store also sells gifts and other items but the main sales item is candy.   

Above the ENTER is Colonial Candies.  The store location is in New England at Bolton, Massachusetts close to Boston, Hudson and Marlborough.
