Seaside’s oldest continually run business

There has been a candy store at 217 Broadway since 1897. That is the sentence the shop still leads with, and it is the one the town uses when it wants to prove that Seaside is older than the last remodel. Phillips Candies calls itself the oldest continually run business in town. The taffy is still pulled on the premises. The rocky road is still the argument. The seafoam is still the other argument.
