Sayklly's Escanaba, Michigan
This page is courtesy of the Escanaba DDA
In
1906, a young Lebanese immigrant named Joseph Sayklly pursued the
American dream by opening his own shop on Ludington Street in
Escanaba, on Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Sayklly's carried a
small line of groceries, including homemade candy and ice cream.
Together with his wife, Mary, and their nine children, Joe built
Sayklly's into a thriving local landmark. Folks stopped by to
take home a bag of Sayklly's famous candy or lingered at the soda
fountain to savor treats made with hand-cranked ice cream (and maybe
flirt with a sweetheart). Some of the biggest sellers in the early
days, like peanut brittle, hand-pulled taffy, hand-dipped
chocolates, peanut clusters, and fudge, are still sold today.
Travel in Michigan will take you to nearly endless destinations. As you enjoy the sights and attractions, a little snack or a full meal will eventually become a necessity. In this section, and by region, I will let you in on some of the best places for some of my favorites.
