The
Death Valley Nut and Candy Company was established in 2001 by Ed Ringle in
Beatty, Nevada, near
Death Valley, serving travelers along the
U.S. 95 corridor to the valley and between
Reno and
Las Vegas. The store, eventually branding itself as EddieWorld, gradually added a
gas station and
Tesla Supercharger and
ChargePoint EV chargers. Inside the store includes snacks and candy sold under the Death Valley Nut and Candy Company brand as well as imported snacks, an array of souvenirs and toys, and small shops within the building, such as a café,
Subway, and Jedidiah's Jerky. EddieWorld, now owned by Ed Ringle's son Alex, opened a second location strategically placed between
Los Angeles and
Las Vegas along
Interstate 15 in
Yermo, California on January 8, 2018, with a gas station and EV chargers outside the store and a
Peet's Coffee, Jedidiah's Jerky, and Calico Pizzeria on the inside. With 26 fuel pumps and a convenience store, it is the largest gas station in the state. Also noted are the novelties throughout the premises, such as a
3D printer that makes custom
gummy candy, a minigame system above the
urinals in the men's restroom controlled by urinating in the toilet, and a
water tank by the parking lot decorated to resemble an
ice cream sundae. ==See also==
