Esther Price will make over 10,000 different-sized eggs and more than 30,000 chocolate rabbits.

Doug Dressman, President and CEO of Esther Price Candies, says out-of-town orders have gone up this year, and he wants to give people living some advice.

He says this is the second buisest

“It’s usually best to get here early in the morning, then you won’t hit the crowds,” Dressman shared. “As it gets later on in the afternoon, the store gets really busy. If you can get here early enough, that’s your best bet.”

The longer you wait, the store is expected to get busier and busier but Dressman says they have plenty of chocolate to go around.
