New Woodland Mall Store Lets You Try Snacks From Around the World

If you’ve ever scrolled TikTok and watched people try wild international snacks, you don’t have to just watch anymore. You can now taste them yourself right here in Grand Rapids.

The Exotic Snack Guys officially opened their new store inside Woodland Mall over Labor Day weekend, and it’s already turning into a destination for foodies and curious snackers alike.

Walking in feels like stepping into a candy and chip wonderland. There are walls lined with colorful international sodas, candies, chips, and unique flavor combinations you won’t find at your neighborhood grocery store.

I stopped in myself and left with a bag full of goodies, including giant sour Skittles from Ireland

(10/10 with big flavor without being covered in that sour dust. They're perfect.)

An international redbull (I picked the chinese can on the left)

and a White Chocolate Biscoff Kit Kat bar straight from Europe, which might be my new favorite.

What makes this store so fun is that there’s something for everyone. Whether you’re into spicy, sweet, sour, or just plain strange, you’ll find a snack that surprises you, like these pickle flavored puffs:

Think international Lay’s chips in flavors you’ve never dreamed of, specialty Kit Kats, and novelty snacks like pickle-flavored treats and sriracha-inspired candies.

It’s not just a store, it’s an experience. You can wander the aisles, try something new each time, and maybe even discover your new favorite flavor from across the world without ever leaving West Michigan.

You can also grab one of their exotic snack boxes or bags if you're adventurous:

If you're a fan of snacks that aren't found in the US, this is absolutely a must-visit spot the next time you're at the Woodland Mall.
