BALTIMORE — One Baltimore family wanted to honor their late mother and grandmother.
So they opened a candy shop in their memory at Lexington Market.
Betty Lee's Candy Dish was born.
An East Baltimore woman with a larger than life personality, that was Betty Lee.
She was known for all the candy dishes inside her home.
All visitors were sure to get candy.
Unfortunately Betty Lee passed away in 2019.
Her grandson, Donald Terry Jr., made sure Betty Lee's legacy would live on through the candy shop.
Betty Lee's Candy Dish has been open for six months.
They offer a wide range of sweet treats from skittles and lollipops to laces and onions.
The store managers tell WMAR-2 News it's all about the family atmosphere.
By the way, Lexington Market is hosting a Halloween event Saturday evening called Hocus Pocus.
Of course Betty Lee's will be part of the fun, since candy and Halloween go hand-in-hand.
