307 Exotics, a unique confectionery store, has opened its doors inside the Rialto Theater building in Casper. Offering a myriad of international treats, the store presents an exciting opportunity to delight in exotic flavors. Shoppers looking for a sweet delicacy or a unique gift now have a new haven.
Local entrepreneurs Ashlee and Eric Taylor established the store. Through their existing relationships in the food distribution sector, they saw the need to cut importation costs for international treats. This strategy has made the store a go-to source of affordable international delicacies.
The Taylors stock a variety of snacks, mainly from China and Japan, each bringing a different texture and flavor.

Their collection includes green tea-flavored chocolates, red bean pastries, rice cakes, and seaweed snacks. Also, the store offers an array of Asian beverages like milky teas and fruit-infused waters.
Some unique finds in their store include tiramisu mints, cheesecake-flavored Kit Kats, a range of Sour Patch Kids flavors, and even Oreo cookie flavors. Their savory offering is just as remarkable, boasting unusual chip flavors such as squid ink Lays and duck tongue.
Apart from the unique taste experience, the Taylors also emphasize the higher quality of international snacks. They pointed out that these snacks can have fewer chemicals and better ingredients because of more stringent food regulations in their countries of origin.
The opening of 307 Exotics on August 3, 2024, influenced both the retail scene and the renovation of the Rialto Theater. The modern flair of the exotic snack store and the historical charm of the classic soda fountain in the theater construct a perfect contrast. The result is an appealing blend of the old and new, attracting both visitors and locals to the heart of Casper.
