Michigan's Oldest Candy Store in Bay City, Has Just Been Sold

Did you know there's a candy store that's nearly 120 years old? And it has been for sale?

Well, good news... it has been purchased by a familiar local entrepreneur.

Michigan's Oldest Candy Store

St Laurent Brothers, or The Nut House as some call it, has been in business since 1904 in Downtown Bay City on the Saginaw River (1101 N Water St, Bay City, MI 48708). It's not far from the Liberty Bridge.

Keep in mind, M&Ms candy has only been around since the 1940s.

The historical candy shop has been for sale. The long-time owners listed the businesses in the beginning of the year. The asking price is around $1.7 million.

WNEM-TV 5 reports Jordan Dice, new owner of the Midland Mall, has purchased St. Laurent Brothers and has big plans. The good news, after 120 years, the candy shop isn't going anywhere.

You Could Own Madonna's Family Vineyard & Winery

The iconic Ciccone Vineyard and Winery has hit the market in Northern Michigan for a little under $5 million.

If the Ciccone name sounds familiar, it's because it's the birth name of the Material Girl. Madonna Louise Ciccone is one of Silvio 'Tony' Ciccone's eight children. The vineyard was founded by Ciccone and his wife Joan in 1995.

The property also includes a beautiful, 3,500 square foot winemaker's home, which has five bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms.
