Owner Matthew Donnelly first got hooked on American sweets from a work colleague – then he got the taste for success.
The 31-year-old was keen to work for himself as well as turn his love of sweets into a full-time job, so decided to branch out with his own shop.

“I have always had a sweet tooth my dentist can vouch for that,” Matthew joked.
“I fell in love with the difference of American sweets and snacks, mainly because of the forever changing textures and flavours.
“I've always had a keen interest in working for myself and then the American sweet dream landed in my head.”
