The Sweet Tooth Candy Store located at 1012 Main Street in Hays is going out of business.  The store, which opened this year, is selling all merchandise at a discounted rate.

Jim Kimbrel, store employee and son of the owner, told Hays Post that he’s been working at the store since March.  He said the official opening of the store was April 20th.  He couldn’t comment on the reason behind the closure, but he did say business has been slower recently.

“During the summer it was pretty happening, and it kind of started slowing down once school started up.”

Kimbrel and the other store employee were given the news of the closure earlier in the month.

According to the store’s Facebook page, the store will close its doors October 5th at 9pm.

The store owner declined to comment on the closure.
