I can go in the dollar tree or family dollar and wild out on candy to my delight. Why Dylan’s? I often pass it on the UES, but never went in. Someone sell us

Nice looking window displays but still very colorful, cleverly marketed, preposterously priced sugar.

I get the feeling it's extremely attractive to children.

Also, from the one or two times I strolled in, they have a far more interesting selection than CVS.

It's a pet project of the rich child of someone famous/in-business.

I doubt they make major profit / will last.

You just don't have a clue do some of you?

Having a famous parent (and wealthy) parent obviously helped; but people would have stopped going to Dylan's long ago if it did not offer value for money. After all as you all say candy can be purchased at CVS or similar places for much less money.

It lives off of tourists. Nothing wrong with that. I it's not a candy store. It's on the tourist industry.
