He eventually expanded into storefronts and it was his son’s idea to draw on the European choco - late “ house ” where the shop felt more like visiting someone’s home . The company was sold in 2004 to James Candy Co . , which also pro - duces Fralinger’s Salt Water Taffy . Bayard’s locations included the now - closed Pennsauken and Cherry Hill stores , the latter having just shut down this past February when James ’ Candy filed for bankruptcy . However , the Cinnaminson location , opened in 1960 , still stands , and chocoholics can still get their fix of the famous confections . OF NOTE : The displays of candy in the store , arranged in towers d placed neatly on glass shelves an raised by brass candle holders , were inspired by Kelly’s visits to European chocolatiers . EVERGREEN DAIRY BAR After serving in the Army , Thomas Cienkowski opened Evergreen Dairy Bar next to his family’s farm in 1949 . The menu consisted of ice cream treats and its location on the main thoroughfare on Route 70 just two miles from the Medford Circle meant it saw many customers on their way to and from the Shore over the years . In 1956 , Cienkowski opened a restaurant portion , serving break - fast and lunch . The vintage atmosphere remains with the flat roof providing coverage for parked cars and the recognizable green and white sign outside . Cienkowski , who was known for his philanthropic contributions to the community , passed in 2014 d since his wife Marion’s an passing in 2017 , the business has been maintained by longtime employee and family friend Deb - orah Ware who says the late founder was like a father to her . OF NOTE : Evergreen was one of the first places in South Jersey to host cruise nights with vintage cars and hot rods on display , a tradition that continues every n Tuesday in the summer .
