Longtime readers probably remember the opening of Marcia Wilson’s Route 66 Fudge Shop in Cuba, Mo. This was a store that sold a line of candy bars to help maintain the town’s famous murals.
There’s good news and bad news about the fudge shop. The bad news is Wilson had to close her storefront and become a home-based business because of back problems. The good news is that Wilson’s chocolates still will be sold in Cuba, this time at Java.net Books and Gifts.
According to the news release:
It is a partnership that serves both their needs. Wilson has a local outlet for her chocolates, and Miller has added another delicious offering for her customers when they come into the bookstore for lunch, WiFi, or a specialty cup of java.
Miller remarked, “I am always looking for something new for Java.net. Chocolates go well with the coffee drinks and make a good dessert after a customer’s lunch. Marcia’s chocolate Baby Cakes and chocolate covered strawberries are a favorite.” […]
Miller plans to add more Route 66 memorabilia to her offerings so that she has more that interests the Route 66 traveler and people wanting souvenirs of the route.
Java.net is at 418 N. Franklin in Cuba, about five blocks north of the Mother Road.
