Beyond that is the regular candy shop which will likely remain unchanged - possibly selling more food items and less candy - which then connects to the wine shop, so on.. and so forth.. At worst there might be a jumble to slide the Christmas shop into the old candy shop and compact the Werthers area as a single larger shop - but the Goebel store is substantial so I doubt they'd need to. Think of it like Italy or France with their sweet shops being less just candy and moreso all kinds of food. That's how i envision the old candy shop with the new Werthers store operating nearby.

I hope this won't be a Germany version of Goofy's Candy Shop.
