This place is a kid’s dream and a dentist’s nightmare. Welch’s Chocolate Shop lures you in with the jars and jars of hard candy on display in their shop window, and keeps you there with the many different kinds of candy available on their shelves.
Welch's Chocolate Shop
European and American imported candy sits next to maple syrup candy and fake teeth made of marzipan. The kids I was with went crazy and even I couldn’t leave without buying a small bag of pear drops for myself.

Having lived in YYC off and on for 15 years, I never really enjoyed going to Banff.
People alwyas ask why and then I have to show them images of my home village…..

That’s quite a large candy shop. I bet they have some pretty wild stuff. I love it!
I love that shop and am always snooping for new little fittings for a cookie or a cake…
H. Peter…. why did you ever move? Your home town is a dream to me. I have been to Switzerland, and I cannot get enough of that part of the world. Understood.
