Yum Yum Gum Opens its Doors to Cuyahoga Falls

The locally-owned candy shop offers 116 unique, sugar-free gum flavors.

Cheesecake? English toffee? Cherry cola?

Check. Check. Check.

Peanut Butter? Chocolate brownie? Cotton candy?

Yes. Yep. You bet. 

Yum Yum Gum, which opened Tuesday on State Road, features 116 sugar-free gum flavors to intrigue your taste buds.

Owners James Horak and Keith Saffles make all the gum in-house, and have been selling it online since January.

"We used word of mouth to build our customer base and already we have received orders from California, Boston and Kanses City," said Horak. "If you're looking for something unique, stop by and check us out."
