OXON HILL, Md. - The company that makes the chick-and bunny-shaped marshmallow confections called Peeps is opening the first store devoted to them.
The shop, in a mall near Washington, D.C., sells everything from Peeps plush toys to one-of-a-kind artwork and Peeps china by the 130-year-old tableware maker Lenox Corp. It opens Thursday.
The brightly-colored candies are a staple in Easter baskets in the United States.
Kathy Bassininski, who oversaw the creation of the Peeps&Company store for Just Born, the Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, company that has made the candies since the 1950s, says fans have requested a store for years.
