Jack White

On a scorching August day back in 2012, Jack White came into Hollywood Candy and like many others walked out with something he likely wasn’t expecting to buy when he walked in. A bowling ball. Later that morning Hollywood Candy was contacted by a band representative requesting permission for the band to play a pop-up show in the theater in the early afternoon prior to their show at the former Music Hall. Intrigued, we agreed and the ball began to roll. Around noon, the band tweeted (best form of mass communication at the time) that they would be playing a show at Hollywood Candy that afternoon at 2pm. The store was immediately bombarded with hundreds of fans hoping to catch a glimpse of the star playing in such a unique setting. Some even resorting to sitting on shoulders to gain a better view.
