Cutie Pie Kawaii

Kinda stumbled upon this gem thanks to the recommendation of a friend. Theres not a ton of spots in Central PA to get Japanese goods let alone a variety of candy at a good price so this place was an awesome find.
We’ve met the owner Pam several times at conventions and visits when we’re in the area. She really goes out of her way to find special edition/​limited runs of candies and trendy items from Japan that you can’t find at the local big chain media stores in the mall. I’ve purchased several stuffed alpacas from her (alpacasso) and Amuse brand plush. Theres no risk of bootlegs as she imports them direct from the manufacturer. She also has an extensive line of Tamagotchis at the moment which seem to be gaining popularity.
Price wise its pretty competitive, if not cheaper, than the retail stores and online. I prefer to get my kawaii/​candy fix from her store as I like to support local business whenever possible. Plus the selection really is unmatched. Again, she updates her inventory depending on the season/what’s popular in Japan so it really is a surprise each time we visit.
Only downside is you might have a bit of trouble finding it. I expected a small store near the mall but it’s back off the beaten path, sharing a space with a rental car agency (Chariot rent a car I think its called?) and next door to a veterinarian. Just look for her sign with the cute mascot and Hello Kitty in the window and you’ll know you’re at the right place!
