Marple Newtown Patch Asks: 1970s Candy/Card Shop?

A Newtown Square native is looking for help as he researches an old memory.

Attention longtime residents and history buffs:

Marple Newtown Patch recently received an email from a reader asking about an old candy and card shop in Newtown Square.

"I used to ride the bus down West Chester Pike in the 1970s. Right after the Newtown Square Shopping Center and before the light at Dunwoody Home, there was a candy store and card shop on the right side/south side of West Chester Pike. The building is still there. It is either a Starbucks now or the building closest to the road in the same parking lot as Starbucks. What was its name?"
