Over the last two weeks, members from the Kiwanis Club of Claremont have been hard at work transforming the Richard Hibbard’s Auto Center space into a makeshift version of the iconic shop, See’s Candy. The group has organized the shop every year, and on Monday, November 22, the international organization will officially open its annual holiday See’s Candy store again to the public. This year, the store is located at 191 South Indian Hill Blvd.

Residents will not only be able to acquire sweet, signature treats from the organization at the store during the holidays, but patrons will also be contributing toward numerous worthy efforts for Claremont organizations.

Proceeds from the store will benefit scholarships at both Claremont and San Antonio high schools as well as select community grants from charities including Ability First, Meals on Wheels, Shoes That Fit, Foothill Family Shelter, Citrus College Veteran’s Center and others.

Residents can get a glimpse of the shop’s inventory at the farmer’s market on Sunday, November 21, the day before the Indian Hill storefront opens. Once fully open by noon Monday, patrons will be able to peruse the shop’s inventory and order candies in person or online. Further information as to how online orders can be place and fulfilled will be posted at a later date so check www.claremontkiwanis.org or their Facebook page for further updates.
