Remember the scene in Willy Wonka (the original… not the tripped out Tim Burton version) where the children and their parents first enter the factory and discover the infamous “World of Pure Imagination?” When I first stepped foot into this large and incredible Kansas candy store, Gene Wilder himself (R.I.P.) began serenading my mind as I poured over all of the shop’s sweet, salty, and utterly unique offerings. What is this mysterious candy land that I am referring to?

Established in 1937, the state treasure known as the Nifty Nut House has served the Wichita community through its three generations of friendly customer service and unbeatable prices.
