In response to the announcement of the owners’ retirement, customers have been sharing their memories and expressing their appreciation for the products and services provided by the candy shop through the years.
“Sad news for me! I have enjoyed the sweet treats and lovely service ever since you opened. Wishing you a happy and enjoyable retirement. You’ve earned it!” one wrote.
“This was my favourite place to go growing up,” another one commented.
“Been coming in since I was 7, will be a sad day, but hopefully the new owners keep the sweet in the heart and continue the tradition.”
Since the early 2000s, the shop has been a go-to spot for those looking for a diverse selection of sweets and snacks, including cereals, lollies, and chocolates.
