Candy and sweets shop Pinkitzel is now open in downtown McKinney.

Pinkitzel offers a variety of sweet treats including mix and match bulk candy, saltwater taffy, gourmet chocolates, rock candy, lollipops and more, its website states. Other sweet treats available include cupcakes, cakes, macarons and truffles, and the shop also sells other merchandise such as gifts for men, women and children.

“We are a cupcake and candy store inspired by Willy Wonka and Marie Antoniette,” co-owner Jonathan Jantz said of the business.

The shop is the first Texas location for the business, which has two other stores in Oklahoma. The McKinney store features a 20-person party room that can be used for a variety of events for both adults and children, including tea parties, cupcake decorating parties, baby showers, bridal parties and more.

Quote of note


“Pinkitzel is a spin on two words, pink and kitzel, which means ‘tickled’ in Yiddish, so we are literally tickled pink,” the company’s website states.
