When Josh and Laura Robertson were expecting their first child, she started to question the 性视界传媒渟tatus quo性视界传媒� 性视界传媒� particularly when it came to food.

性视界传媒淲e started looking into changing our own diets,性视界传媒� Laura said.

They made a change that their whole family follows to gluten free, dairy free, no seed or refined oils or refined sugars, no microwave use, no plastics and no aluminum.

性视界传媒淲hen you are eating the way we are, it is very hard to eat out,性视界传媒� she said.

Now, though, the couple is offering that option at their new food truck 性视界传媒� Caveman Comforts, which is at 5651 U.S. 259 next door to the Spindletop gas station and convenience store and north of FM 1844.

The couple had talked about opening a restaurant but decided to start out with a food truck, which has less overhead, and grow from there.

性视界传媒淭here is a huge need here and a want,性视界传媒� Laura said. 性视界传媒淧eople are starting to become aware of how things you put in your body affects you in negative ways.性视界传媒�

Roxy性视界传媒檚 Candy Lounge in downtown Gladewater is on a mission of more than one kind.

Roxy性视界传媒檚 opened in December, with Lana Niemannn and Jackson Foltyn as partners in the business. But make no mistake, Roxy, Foltyn性视界传媒檚 daughter, is the CEO, Niemannn said.

Roxy, 10, attends elementary school in Richardson and is autistic. Niemannn said the for-profit business性视界传媒� purpose is two-fold: to give Roxy a place to learn skills and how to run a business so she can be self-sufficient and to help support a nonprofit organization Foltyn started called The Roxy Room.

The organization raises funds to put sensory rooms in schools where needed and requested to help children on the autism spectrum, Niemannn said.

Foltyn is best known locally for purchasing the former Gladewater Opry and opening the Jackson Theatre there, where he presents a mix of live theatre and music.

Niemannn said she and Foltyn also have plans to open Fulton性视界传媒檚 General Store in downtown Gladewater as well as an Irish pub and Airbnb rooms across the street from the Candy Lounge.

Foltyn and Niemannn first became acquainted when she attended one of his shows. She already owned buildings in town, she said, and they found common ground in their desire to help downtown Gladewater prosper.

性视界传媒淭he goal is to change downtown to a more vibrant area and have a night life also,性视界传媒� she said. 性视界传媒淭his is a tourism town, and we want to bring more tourists in....性视界传媒�

Roxy性视界传媒檚 Candy Lounge, which is at 104 S. Main in Gladewater, features a variety of classic candy favorites as well as a variety of treats and desserts, such as different kinds of fudge, chocolate-covered Oreos, milk and white chocolate pretzels, varieties of truffles and other goodies.

As the business grows, a portion of sales from certain merchandise will go to support Roxy性视界传媒檚 Room.

Roxy性视界传媒檚 Room is designed to give children on the spectrum a place to reset when necessary when they性视界传媒檙e at school. The size of the rooms depend on the need and feature things like cocoon swings, tents, sensory toys and other items to help provide peace for those children when needed.

The nonprofit organization, which Niemann said operates strictly on donations, has provided four rooms so far, including in Roxy性视界传媒檚 school at Prairie Creek Elementary, two in Liberty City and one in Spring Hill. Nineteen other schools have applied. Rooms cost about $8,000-$15,000, depending on the size. The next ones are planned to go in Gladewater and White Oak schools.

性视界传媒淭his is strictly on donations that these rooms get done,性视界传媒� Neimann said.

Roxy性视界传媒檚 Candy Lounge is open 11 a.m.-7 p.m. Tuesday-Friday and 11 a.m.-8 p.m. Saturday.
