Grand Canyon Chocolate opened in Flagstaff Aug. 1 for Flagstaff’s First Friday Artwalk.
The new store, headed by Tyler Stickler, is at 109 N. Leroux St., next to the now-closed Planet Science shop.
Stickler works with his brothers, Connor and Logan, along with their parents, Patrick and Victoria.
Grand Canyon Chocolate sells fudge, taffy, candied apples, gelato, coffee, espresso and, of course, chocolate. The shop is in a long, narrow space. It features an impressive 25-foot photographic mural of Grand Canyon and a colorful, lighted sign with an image of Grand Canyon and the Colorado River.
Tyler Stickler, a 2019 graduate of Flagstaff High School, was student body president and captain of the football and track teams for the Eagles.
Downtown has two other candy stores. Flagstaff Chocolate Co. is in the Old Town Shops directly across from Grand Canyon Chocolate. The Sweet Shoppe Candy Store is a block away at 15 E. Aspen Ave. FBN
