Violet’s Vault is so much more than an amazing Candy Lover’s Destination – it’s a childhood dream come to life.

I grew up on a pig farm in Quebec. As any farming family can tell you, a working farm will always provide a surplus of hard work, but not always hard cash. As a kid, this didn’t bother me much. I knew a currency even more valuable than money: CANDY.

I LOVED candy. Candy was awesome! Bright, beautiful, delicious – I would take my meager allowance to the candy store and instantly be transported to a land of fantasy and fun. Not only that, candy is easy to share. I’m not ashamed to say that some of my friendships and playground influence was helped along by candy!

I’ll never forget the escape, the joy, the connection that candy brought into my life – it was the true treasure of my childhood. And when I came across the old bank in downtown Iroquois, with its own vault, I knew exactly what this place needed to be: the most audacious, exciting, unique candy shop imaginable!

But I didn’t do this on my own. This too is a family-run business, and we’ve dreamed big and worked hard to turn Violet’s Vault into a technicolour reality.

That vault no longer holds bills, bonds, or other bits of paper that adults locked away for years – it is unlocked, thrown open, and stuffed with the ultimate currency of childhood: Candy. Our over-the-top ice cream creations like milkshakes and floats, our bunninies, our retro arcade – they all exist for the same reason: to transport you to a land of fantasy and delight. We can’t wait for you and your whole family to step through our doors and (re)experience the joy of candy and connection for yourself.
