Austin “Chumlee” Russell, one of the stars of the Las Vegas-based “Pawn Stars” reality series, has opened a new candy store, Chumlee’s Candy on the Boulevard.<\/p>\n

The candy shop is located in Pawn Plaza, a shopping complex adjacent to the World Famous Gold & Silver Pawn Shop made, y’know, world famous, on “Pawn Stars.”<\/p>\n

During our recent visit, Chumlee himself was greeting fans at the shop and said he expects to do so often.<\/p>\n

\"Chumlee
Chumlee’s candy shop features classics like Turkish Taffy, Astro Pops and Niklnips, at least one of which sounds like a stripper name.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The shop is co-owned by Chumlee and his brother, Sage Russell.<\/p>\n

Chumlee’s candy shop is diminutive, as it inhabits a shipping container, but has a solid collection of sweets, including many retro candies sure to strike a nostalgic chord with guests.<\/p>\n

The candy selection reflects Chumlee’s personal favorites such as Bottle Caps and Razzles.<\/p>\n

\"Chumlee
It seems somebody’s lollipop has delusions of grandeur.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The prices are a tad on the steep side, so don’t think of it as “candy,” per se. The candy is just an excuse to rub elbows with a reality TV star. They aren’t candy cigarettes, they’re “Pawn Stars” mementos, emphasis on the Mentos. Which we don’t recall seeing at the shop, but just play along.<\/p>\n

Oh, that’s right, we went for the candy cigarettes ($2). We also snagged SweeTarts ($2.75, deep breaths), Red Vines ($2.45), Pop Rocks ($1.85) and candy buttons ($1.97).<\/p>\n

\"Chumlee
Don’t judge us. It’s Las Vegas.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Chumlee and his brother Sage were helpful and friendly, indulging requests for autographs and selfies.<\/p>\n

Our receipt said “Cashier: Austin Russell,” but his brother was actually the one pulling cashier duty.<\/p>\n

There was a short line outside the shop during our visit, mainly because the store can only accommodate six guests at a time.<\/p>\n

The shop is open noon to 5:00 p.m., Wednesday through Sunday (closed Monday and Tuesday).<\/p>\n

\"Chumlee
The “Boulevard” in the name is Las Vegas Boulevard, the most glorious of all thoroughfares.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Pawn Plaza has had quite a bit of turnover<\/a> in recent months, so it’s gratifying to see another new tenant in place.<\/p>\n

We quite like the nearby Jared’s Old Fashioned Hot Dogs & Hamburgers<\/a>, as one does not live by candy buttons alone.<\/p>\n

Here’s hoping Chumlee and his brother can make a go of Chumlee’s Candy on the Boulevard. It’s unknown if “Pawn Stars” will be picked up by the History network for a 15th season, so it’s an ideal time for the show’s stars to explore other ventures.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
