Uranus Fudge Factory
1423 W 53rd St, Anderson
Mon-Sun: 8 am-9 pm
Have you ever driven up towards Anderson and seen those signs telling you that “The best fudge comes from Uranus?” Another one we saw was encouraging us to “explore Uranus” and another announced, “We’re having big fun in Uranus!” Well, the advertisement worked! We were intrigued and stopped by. Predominantly, this store sells the most amazing fudge but also a huge selection of candy. This is not just any old candy store though. It has ice cream, popcorn, all-new mini golf, and apparel.
Hoosier Cupboard Candy, Snacks, and Ice Cream

This is a very cool store to visit, situated in an old train station! Two rooms out of the three at Hoosier Cupboard Candy, Snacks, and Ice Cream are full of candy from floor to ceiling and the in-betweens. In one room are handmade truffles, pick’n’mix water taffy, and contemporary candy. In the second room, you will find super scrummy ice cream, milkshakes, and an even larger collection of jar candy to choose from. While there is no seating inside, there is ample outside.
The fun does not stop there! On Monday and Tuesday evenings from 5-6 pm, visitors get free admission to the Franklin Railroad Depot Museum, which has been lovingly curated by the family who own the candy shop.
