If they haven’t wooed you yet with record-setting roller coasters, water slides, killer cuisine or sophisticated shopping, then American Dream’s latest bid to get you through the door may just do it.

The mega-mall at the Meadowlands is going to have the world’s first candy department store.

(Pause for screaming)

IT’SUGAR will open a three-story, 22,000-square-foot shop, which will be the world’s largest non-manufacturer candy store. It will be located in the entertainment atrium at American Dream, next to the DreamWorks Water Park and near the Nickelodeon Universe Theme Park and the NHL regulation-sized ice rink.

Shoppers will be greeted by a 60-foot tall replica of the Statue of Liberty made out of candy.

“We’ve all heard the expression ‘like a kid in a candy store’ – but this larger-than-life candy experience will exceed all expectations for those who are young and young at heart,” said Don Ghermezian, CEO, American Dream.

IT’SUGAR opened its first store in Atlantic City in 2006. Since then, 100 more stores have opened in 28 states. This will be the brand’s fifth New Jersey location.

“This concept has been a dream of mine for over 25 years and our IT’SUGAR team is thrilled to partner with American Dream to finally make it a reality,” says Jeff Rubin, Founder and CEO, IT’SUGAR.

The IT’SUGAR at American Dream will offer more than 10,000 types of candy and have showcase shops such as Sour Patch Kids, Oreo, Nerds, Reese’s, Peeps, Pez, Starbursts, and more.

The store will open in “Fall 2019,” according to IT’SUGAR’s website.

American Dream is supposed to open in phases with the initial opening Oct. 25, and other phases debuting later in 2019 and early 2020.

The 3-million-square foot complex will be 45 percent retail and 55 percent entertainment. It’s located along the New Jersey Turnpike and route 3 in East Rutherford.
