Me and My Sugar Daddy at the Wakarusa Dime StoreWakarusa, Indiana  The Wakarusa Dime Store as been a staple in Wakarusa since 1969 when The Dime Store decided to make specialty jelly beans.  That year the flavor was licorice and they sold 100 pounds of it.  Each year they add a new flavor and their sales are approximately 75 tons annually.

Wakarusa is a very small community with big community attitude! Downtown sports one traffic light and the main part of town goes one block in each directions, East, West, North and South. During the Holiday Season a 20 foot or more Christmas Tree is planted smack dab in the middle of the intersection and left turns are forbidden. The walkable score for Wakarusa Indiana has to be very high because it is such a small community, yet very close knit! Deerfield Villas is the only Subdivision with active Listings during the month of August and prices of the homes are Betweet $119,000 and $161,000. If small town living appeals to you, please give me a call at 574-304-7148 and we will start your home search today! I promise, I will take excellent care of you, just like you deserve!  Here is wha...

If you are not from Elkhart County or Wakarusa, you probably have not seen the Giant Jelly Bean that Wakarusa Dime Store is famous for. I have seen numerous commercials showing a normal sized jelly bean next to the giant one, but it still did not prepare me for the real thing.  The Giant Jelly Bean still doesn't describe it perfectly.  I mean, it r e a l l y is BIG!Not only do they have the Giant Jelly Bean in several flavors, but the whole store is home to just about every kind of candy known to mankind.  All the favorites from my youth and teen years are there, and they even have boxed sets of candy from the 1960's, 1970's and the 1980's.  A treat for sure!If you are passing thru town and want a fun couple of hours, go to Wakarusa Dime Store.  It's less than 10 miles from Elkhart and ...
