This old-fashioned candy company, which has locations throughout Western New York, was originally founded in 1927. The original Main street location (since closed) was used in the 1983 Buffalo-filmed movie, The Natural, which featured Robert Redford and Glenn Close. Parkside's top selling candy is their sponge candy, a candy unique to the buffalo area which has a crisp molasses flavored "sponge" on the inside and is layered with a chocolate coating on the outside. Other candies include fudge, old-fashioned lollipops, home-made salt water taffy, and chocolate-laced popcorn.
