History
Younan & Maysoon Hallak immigrated to San Diego from Baghdad Iraq in the 70's. In pursuit of the American Dream, they saved $2k & bought a little pickup truck where they started going from store to store selling miscellaneous novelty items. Since they offered some of the best customer service around, sooner rather than later they were getting requests to carry more items; Candy. In no time, Younans new nickname was the Candyman & alongside Maysoon they built a Candy Empire. 35 years & 4 children later Younan & Maysoon Hallak own the largest candy distribution operation in San Diego, housing over 4000 different candy items. Since the warehouse is so amusing to those who experience it, the siblings launched Candy Pros which offers its entire selection to all those that desire the ultimate candy experience online, in warehouse & their new storefront in La Mesa. Now, they are happy to announce their first candy store concept on the Del Mar Fairgrounds!
