Independent Journalism in Phoenix Needs You
We need to raise $15,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
Say you just worked to develop one of the most popular tech devices, ever. Whatcha gonna do now? Open a candy store on Mill Avenue, of course!
Frank Ellis left Silicone Valley after working as part of the Amazon Kindle team.

Candy Addict is located near ASU at 414 Mill Avenue, 480-921-1155. Visit their website for hours: Candy-Addict.com
