A Difficult Goodbye

It is with a heavy heart that we have made the difficult decision to close our beloved sweet shop. This choice has not come easily, but due to several factors—including my husband’s health, which must be our top priority—we can no longer continue operating.

The recent stretch of bad weather, increasing local and online competition, and the ongoing cost-of-living crisis have made it incredibly challenging to sustain the business. We understand that during tough times, treats like sweets naturally fall lower on everyone’s shopping list. Despite our best efforts and a wonderful run-up to Christmas, the past six weeks have seen us operating at a loss—something we simply cannot allow to continue. To help keep things afloat, I have had to return to care work, and while the business remains debt-free at this moment, staying open would put that at risk.

We will remain open until the end of the month and are holding a 50% off sale on all remaining stock. We would love to see you in the shop one last time, and this is a great opportunity to stock up on your favourite sweets at a 50% discount.

All existing orders for sweet cones and gift hampers are available to collect at your convenience. And you can still order these items up to the end of the month, subject to available stock.

We also want to take this opportunity to express our deepest gratitude to all of our customers. Your support has meant the world to us—we have met so many wonderful people and made lifelong friends along the way. While this chapter is coming to an end, we will still hold the lease on the shop and may explore new business opportunities in the future.

Thank you for everything—you have made this journey truly special.

Paula & Dave
