WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY

Melissa L.
"Wow, just wow. Let me start with that preface. I saw this place after our visit to Chuck E. Cheese and wanted to make a stop thinking it was another souvenir store but nope! IT WAS A DREAM COME TRUE!!!"


Katelynn D.
"I am a complete sucker for candy stores, and this one was quite impressive! It was enormous, and it honestly had every type of candy I could imagine! I especially love the pay by weight candy because I could try a little bit of everything. Additionally, they had souvenirs, trinkets, ice cream, etc, for the full experience."


Marinka K.
"If you love sugar, this place is for you! This is a child's dream! The little ones were crying over lollipops & gummy worms. For me, it's candy corn season! Both ended up being my airport snack and I was wishing that I had purchased more."


Idsia R.
"This super cute store for the person with a sweet tooth is similar to "It's Sugar" with lots of different types of new and old school candies, souvenir cups, pillows, T-shirts, etc. The service was great. They also have an ice cream shop and lots of different truffles and premium chocolates. Highly recommend checking out."

Belinda Pleva grew up serving ice cream out of her parent’s shop. She loved being part of what she calls “a happy business.” “I love it when people come into the shop and you hand them something, and it makes them smile,” Pleva says. “That moment when you hand an ice cream cone over to a little kid and their eyes just light up. That’s what I love about the ice cream business.”

 

In 1994, Pleva opened up her own ice cream and chocolate shop, Big Buck’s Ice Cream, in the brand-new Timbuk II Shopping Center in Corolla. Business was good, but something was missing.

 

“I was never satisfied with the ingredients in the ice creams and chocolates you could purchase back then. I wanted to serve my customers delicious flavors with ingredients they could actually pronounce,” Pleva says.

 

Pleva took a trip to Italy to study the gelaterias. She fell in love with the incredible flavors, and when she returned home to the Outer Banks, she began working tirelessly to perfect the flavors in her own ice cream.

 

Big Buck’s homemade ice cream combined the flavors of the Italian gelaterias and the richness of American ice cream. It quickly became a tourist favorite. After having the same unsatisfactory experience with the readymade chocolates she was selling, she also took a trip to Brussels to learn more about making handmade chocolates. Pleva brought the chocolate-making experience right back with her, and the result was the finest quality of chocolates on the Outer Banks.

 

After her huge success in the Corolla shop, Pleva was able to open up three more shops—one in Kitty Hawk, one in Manteo and one in Duck.
