Kendy Store

What is Kendy Store?


1.

the way a Jewish person of the second wave of immigration described a candy story. It is an accent. But it described a store which had a soda fountain (specializing in a chocolate soda called an 'egg cream' which had neither eggs nor cream) and the store sold the latest newspapers, magazines, a wide variety of cheap candies and cigars and cigarettes. The owners were often toughened, wizened and fubsy little people with a strong ethnic accent.

There was a song about the candy stores of that era: (in a thick Yiddish accent)

Vuntz I had a kendy store

Bizniss vas so bad,

I asked mein vife vat to do

And dis is vat she said:

Take yourself some kerosene

Pour it on de floor

Take a match

Give a Scratch

No more kendy store, HEY!
