Dime Store Home Of The Jumbo Jelly Bean. The Wakarusa Dime Store was established in 1907 by Moses Wolfberg. Moses was a peddler who walked from farm to farm selling goods from a pack he carried on his back. As his business grew, Moses bought a wagon to travel in, and then in 1907 rented a store front in downtown Wakarusa, a small town in North central Indiana. The Wolfberg family operated the store until 1983 when it changed hands. The current owners bought the store in 1995 and continue to run it Much like it always was. In 1969 in conjunction with Wakarusa's Maple Syrup Festival Lou Wolfberg, Moses son, developed a candy that would become more famous than he ever expected. The Wakarusa Dime Store Jumbo Jellybean has become ""World Famous". The first year Wolfberg introduced the treat 100 pounds were sold, today that total is over 35 tons per year.
