Wakarusa Dime Store

The Wakarusa Dime Store was established in 1907 by Moses Wolfberg.  Moses was a peddler who walked from farm to farm selling goods from a pack he carried on his back.  As his business grew Moses bought a wagon to travel in, and then in 1907 rented a store front in downtown Wakarusa, a small town in Northern Indiana.  The Wolfberg family operated the store until 1983 when it changed hands.  The current owners bought the store in 1995 and continue to run it much like it always was.  In 1969 in conjunction iwth Wakarusa's Maple Syrup Festival, Lou Wolfberg, Moses' son, developed a candy that would become "World Famous."  The first year Wolfberg introduced the treat 100 pounds were sold.  Today that total is over 35 tons per year.  The Jumbo Jellybeans have been shipped through out the world.  They are enjoyed everywhere.  In additon to our Jumbo Jellybeans we have a huge variety of nostalgia conady that will take you back in time to the days of your youth.  The Wakarusa Dime Store is also the largest Fannie May dealer in the Michiana area.
