For more than a half century, one noteworthy sight has loomed over visitors to the boardwalk in Rehoboth Beach.
It’s the big orange Dolles sign that sits atop the salt-water taffy store of the same name. The sign was erected in 1962 when Dolles was rebuilt after a three-day storm destroyed much of the boardwalk.
But next summer the landmark will be gone from its customary perch, and could disappear forever from the oceanfront.
Dolle s Candyland to move from iconic Rehoboth Beach boardwalk location
Delaware News Journal
Dolle s Candyland, a Rehoboth Beach institution for almost 100 years, is moving from its iconic spot at the corner of the avenue and the boardwalk.
The Cape Gazette first reported on Saturday that Dolle s will leave the property at 1 Rehoboth Ave. on Sunday, Jan. 31 when the current lease is set to expire. Owner Tom Ibach told the newspaper he will move the Dolle s operation roughly 100 feet west to his other store, Ibach s Candy By the Sea.
Ibach is the third generation of his family to run the business, which specializes in saltwater taffy, popcorn and other candies.
An iconic candy shop along the Rehoboth Beach boardwalk in Delaware will soon relocate from the beachside property from which it served treats to generations of beachgoers.
Dolle’s Candyland will move from its current location at 1 Rehoboth Ave. after the current lease expires on Jan. 31, the Cape Gazette reported Saturday.
It will end a nearly century-long presence on the Rehoboth boardwalk, though candy lovers shouldn’t fret Dolle’s will continue nearby as part of Ibach’s Candy By the Sea.
“This is a high-rent district and a space can’t just be used for production. It’s got to be generating revenue,” owner Tom Ibach told the Gazette.
