Couple behind popular cafe open new 'bespoke' sweet shop in Knottingley
They have hundreds of sweets on offer
More than 220 varieties of confectionery are now on offer at a newly opened business in Knottingley, founded by a local couple inspired by their own family's love of sugary treats.
Sharon and Stefan Bailey, who already run Pinewood Bakery, have established The Sugar Stop directly opposite their cafe on Pinewood Place.
The venture was sparked by their search for a wider selection of treats for their household.
Stefan said: “We have five children, two of which are quite young and as expected with little kids, they have quite the sweet tooth.
“We also know that there was no other local bespoke sweet shop and the best they could get was a standard bag of sweets from the supermarket.”
The store welcomed its first customers on Saturday, October 31, marking the occasion with a celebratory raffle, free gifts and a giveaway featuring a one kilogram box of sweets.
Following a strong turnout on launch day, the owners have already begun broadening their stocklist.
Stefan said: “The opening day was incredibly busy and well-regarded with many complimenting the variety of sweets, which we have now expanded upon due to the success.”
