Tradition and History Meet Sweet at Uncle Tom’s
 
Uncle Tom’s Newport School & Candy Store has been a destination in the far northern reaches of Ellison Bay'scountrysidesince, 1997. Heather and Jim Laughlin have made it their mission to maintain both tradition and history at the store.
 
Creating homemade delicacies on site, Heather boasts her new chocolate bark creations: White with Pistachio Pretzel, Dark Chocolate with Caramel & Sea Salt, Butter Toffee and Dark Chocolate Cherry. Adding pistachios to the shop's peanut brittle added a tasty pop to the classic favorite.
 
As they’ve updated the business, the Laughlins have taken care to preserve the ambiance that founder Uncle Tom created with antiques and memorabilia. They've also kept Uncle Tom’s famous Pancake Mix available throughout their tenure.
 
A Gills Rock native, Heather was part of the local Weborg family before she and Jim, a Gills Rock fisherman, were married and added three children to the clan. Just imagine: they're raising kids in a candy store!
