I have been a fan of Dylan’s Candy Bar since I started in the confectionery industry six years ago,” said Melissa Snover, MD of Katjes Fassin. “Their incredible experimental retail environment and customer comes first service make them the absolute perfect fit for the magical innovation we developed.”
