So I just got back from the Cookstown Outlet Mall near Barrie Ontario. It was a good time out buying all kinds of crazy kitchen stuff, including a waffle iron. I looked down one of the corridors and I spotted the Cadbury outlet store. My stomach took two flips and my mouth started watering like crazy. I figured I'd find one of two things:Discount chocolate, be it defective off the line stuff, or just plain cheap stuff.
Cool unique treats, things that are maybe discontinued, new or maybe even trial stuff.
What I found was disappointment. It was basically just a store selling the same stuff I've seen everywhere a little more expensively than I've seen it at many places. All this and the toy train was busted, the paint was chipping off many of the scenery pieces and they didn't even have much as far as fun merchandise. Really not worth the visit.CC

Hi CC! Came across this post 19 years later on an internet wide hunt for nostalgia- I used to go to this store as a kid and look at the train running up top and am dying to see a picture of the inside. You wouldn’t happen to have any pictures of the store from this 2007 post would you? LOL thank you !!
I’ll check my archives, not sure how far back they go.
So I just checked my immediate archive and it doesn't go back to 2007... Sorry. I do have a more detailed archive but not with me at this moment, it's in storage in another country. I might have access to it in a few months, but I'm not sure what condition it's in. I'll let you know if I come across it, but it's not likely.
Thanks for checking! Honestly I would have been shocked if you had easily access to your photos from 20 years ago lol. No problem :) I appreciate the effort - for now, the Cadbury store/ train will live on only in our memories. LOL.
