The Panda factory Finnish candy store sign. Following that white arrow gets you there.
You get more candy for your money by buying directly from the Panda outlet store. 27 percent less than at a common food store in Finland.
We bought bags of candy liquorice made with naturally health friendly raw ingredients, as well as candy with other added extras. - Not as healthy. But still yummy! Our shopping list:


Both the Natural and Cherry liquorice use molasses syrup as part sweetener since the other dominant part is from the fruit itself. The cherry is easy to chew.
The strawberry is softer than it's cherry counterpart and is not as sweet. Reminds me of Strawberry roll-ups, with a shorter aftertaste of strawberry -Pop a few in your mouth at once. Both candy types contain natural flavors and aromas.Insider Tips: Pay wholesale price by buying directly from the Finnish candy store at the Panda factory.
Since the retail store and candy factory are within a short walking distance. The candy is fresh.

Make a sweet stop while driving through Jyväskylä!
If you are planning a trip through Jyväskylä, get a sugar fix by stopping at the Panda factory outlet store. Let it be a part of your Finnish vacation.
We visited here during the summer on a Sunday. Walking up to the store I notice that there are streams of people walking out of the Panda factory store.
The candy store's dimensions are about 20 meters long by 9 meters wide. Not big, but lot's of candy to see and buy.

Inside the Panda Lakupala bag - a close up of the liqurice candy

What the Panda Lakupala Deli is like in the mouth. Tomi comments while eating a chocolate-filled lakupala: "It's like Salmiak and chocolate."
When you bite into the candy, your teeth sink into a few millimeters of black salty salmiak liquorice, soon you feel the filling of the orifices that contain the inner candy. Once your teeth contact the inner candy, you feel the tubelike inner candy.
Finally when your tastebuds pick up the taste combination of the liquorice and inner flavored candy of the Cafe Latte, Ice-cream or Chocolate. -you understand why this Finnish candy is popular.
