William Newcomb who works at the store said, 'they stocked up early on the heart shape candy after learning that the Necco company had filed for bankruptcy protection and went out of business.' The Sweetheart candy was being made by Necco since 1886 and is in short supply after the company went out of business as Valentine’s Day approaches.

14. Bar Louie
The motto of Bar Louie is “Eat, Drink, and Be Happy,” and I could not agree more, especially for Valentine’s date night.
Now over 133 locations strong, Bar Louie is a mix breed of restaurant and cool bar, and the concept does a great job of not making one overpower the other. The end result to a night at Bar Louie is being “sauced” and wanting to do some extracurricular activities with your loved one.
Which, I believe, should be the cherry on the sundae to a good Valentine’s date night. Hey, it’s better than going to bed mad at each other because the date wound up at Micky D’s.
Where was I?
Oh, yea, Bar Louie.
So, Bar Louie was founded in 1990, and, much like Applebee’s, the chain built itself as a neighborhood bar hangout, with the one exception that Bar Louie features over 20 taps and drinks that you won’t find at any other casual food spot. In fact, Bar Louie may be an underrated spot for couples looking for some fun times on the day of love.
Bar Louie is everywhere, and it will provide a fun night for your love to just let loose and have fun, and that is what this chain excels in. The atmosphere may differ from one Bar Louie’s to the next, but the end goal is still the same, and that is to provide a great time and good memories for Valentine’s couples everywhere.
It may not be traditional, but sometimes, being “traditional” is boring. So, put a little fun in your relationship and spend Valentine’s Day at Bar Louie.
