From sweet tooth to sweet shop
Our founders began with a folding table at Wigan fairs, filling paper bags with familiar British favourites and treats they had discovered abroad. In 2010, that small idea found a permanent home at 2A Flora Street.
The first online order changed how local customers bought their favourites. A wedding sweet cart showed us how much a well-chosen pick and mix can add to a day. Christmas remains our busiest season, with families returning for the same tins and trying something new.
