Sweet Factory... The Idea
Mixing entertainment and excitement with high quality offerings and bright colorful stores, Sweet Factory has captured significant market share in bulk candy retailing, one of the fastest growing retail phenomena sweeping the country! We are THE “Candy Authority,” executing a winning formula for retail success that sets the standard for bulk candy retailers.
Terrific Locations
High-traffic, high-visibility retail locations are the model for our stores. Corner and street spaces up to 1,000 square feet ensure success. Since candy sales are impulse-driven and largely dependent on presentation and location, close attention to location has proven effective for retail success!
Product Freshness
Candy is stocked in custom-designed bins, replenished daily for optimal freshness. We not only promise freshness, we guarantee it!
Store and Promotion Design
Colorful, attention-grabbing graphics displayed on customized back lit photo panels, end-caps, and standing POP signs create customer excitement for our constantly changing seasonal, licensed, and sales promotions. We are uniquely positioned in the bulk candy retail industry to take advantage of fast-paced cutting-edge merchandising trends!
