Mint World started with one folding table at a Lubbock farmers market and a simple idea: candy should be an experience, not just a checkout-line impulse buy.
Mint World began in 2013 when our founder started selling hand-scooped bulk candy and homemade mint bark at the West Texas Farmers Market. What sold out fastest wasn't the fanciest item — it was the candy people remembered from childhood, mixed in with a few new flavors they'd never tried.
That mix is still our whole approach. By 2016 we'd opened our first storefront, and today Mint World fills a bright, color-coded shop on Quaker Avenue where the bulk bins, chocolate case, and gift counter all get equal attention.

Mint World opens its doors on Quaker Avenue with its first full bulk-bin wall and chocolate case.
After steady requests for birthday and office gifts, we built a dedicated gift-box counter and packing station.
A decade in, we expanded the sour candy and retro sections based on what our regulars kept asking for.
We choose candy made with genuine fruit flavoring and real cocoa over artificial shortcuts whenever we can.
We're a neighborhood shop first. Our staff knows regulars by name and remembers what they like.
From nut-free bins to sugar-conscious options, we want every visitor to leave with something they love.
Our chocolate bark, cordials, and seasonal specialty items are made in short production runs, often no more than a few dozen pieces at a time. That keeps quality high and lets us react quickly to what customers are asking for.
Samples are always on the counter. Stop by our Lubbock shop and let us point you toward your new favorite candy.
