Springfield, MO—According to sources, Meghan Chambers, owner of Staxx LLC downtown clothing store, has purchased several gummy confectioneries made of sugars, gelatin, corn syrup, and starch.
On Tuesday, an employee at the Candy House on South Campbell Avenue confirmed that she saw Chambers picking through an assorted bin of Jelly Belly beans, meticulously picking out the buttered popcorn, coconut and black licorice flavored beans and keeping only the “fruity” beans for purchase. The transaction was far from hostile, “she was nice, just paid for her beans and smiled before she left,” said the employee.
Apparently, business at Staxx downtown clothing store has been producing enough revenue to afford Chambers several handfuls of multi-flavored candies. “She likes to treat herself to some indulgences every once in a while. I think she deserves a reward. Business is going strong, let her eat some dang jelly beans,” said a Staxx store manager.
Reportedly, Chambers relocated her Jelly Beans—with hard candy shell and gummy interior—to the Brentwood Center before consuming them. Witnesses claim that Chambers also possessed multiple Red Hots and several Peach O’s, however, it is not known if they were eaten or left in her vehicle to soften in the scorching sun to be enjoyed later.
When contacted for comment, Chambers said the purchase of Jelly Beans was a lifelong dream, accomplished. “Someday, I will own Jelly Beans,” she said. Chambers also claimed that this report was hardly newsworthy and reiterated that thousand of people buy Jelly Beans everyday.
