When did Sweetdish open?
We opened in December 2007.
Do we get tired of eating sweets?
Nope - Our selection is so great that our snacking migrates around the store and we never get tired of any one candy! Plus, we’re always bringing in new items so there’s always something new to try.
Have you tried everything in the store?
Just about. We call it quality control though instead of gluttony!
How does the store work?
We’ve seen two types of candy shops: (1) those in which the customer serves themselves (fun but not so clean), and (2) those in which the sales staff scoops candy for each customer to order (sanitary but slow, especially on weekends). We’re a cool hybrid of both. We pre-package our bulk candy into 1/4 lb. size bags so we’re quick and clean. If you can’t find a bag, want a quantity different from 1/4 lb, or want a special mix of candies, just ask.
How’s business doing?
We love this questions because it gives us a chance to tell al our great customers that their support is appreciated and we’re doing great!
Is this a chain?
Not yet. We’re currently a single“mom & pop” shop except that we’re really a brother & sister shop.
Do we carry...
Swedish Fish - Yes!
Turkish Delight - Yes!
Chocolate Covered Gummy Bears - Yes!
A wide range of black licorice - Yes!
... and loads more!!!
Do you do party favors?
Absolutely. We’ve bagged 2 oz of candy blox into our glassine bags for children’s birthday parties, created $2 bags of nostalgia candy for corporate sales meetings, and put almonds into boxes that we tied with ribbons. And we’ve done a number of weddings (individually wrapped favors as well as candy “bars”). We customize stickers, as well so your favors can say “Sweet baby Jamie,” “Happy 3rd Birthday!,” or “Vivi & Derek.”
