Heggy’s Nut Shop

Harry Heggy was the original owner of Harry’s Nut House on East Tuscarawas St. in downtown Canton during the late 1930’s and early 1940’s. It was a small restaurant that also sold fresh roasted nuts and his brother Ben’s chocolates. Ben was the founder of the Ben Heggy Candy Co. which is still located at its original location on Cleveland Avenue in Canton. In 1950, his son Bill decided to carry on in his father’s footsteps and opened Heggy’s Nut Shop, and it has remained nearly the same ever since.   The restaurant menu features amazing steakburgers, coney dogs, buttered french fries, soups and more.  The homemade ice cream makes for excellent sundaes, shakes and malts.   Nuts are being roasted fresh right when you walk in and they produce all-natural peanut butter.  And Ben Heggy's mixed chocolates are sold by the pound.   Grab a spot at the milkshake bar, a table in the back, or get some nuts and chocolates to go.
