We celebrated our tenth anniversary by opening our first international store in Hong Kong and we now have six more sub franchise stores overseas with more in the pipeline. Franchise opportunities are still available, so please register your interest here.

Our mind-blowing collection of traditional and contemporary sweets includes all your favourites from Cherry Lips, Coldsfoot Rock and Cough Sweets to our Specialist Liquorice, Sugar Free Sweets and Shocking  Mega Sours! We’re renowned for our fantastic selection of Pick’nMix and we also stock our own exclusive Mr Simms Hand made Chocolate Collection, a range of unusual chocolate bars that offer something a little bit different to the usual high-street offerings. They make great gifts for that person who has everything - you can guarantee they’ve never had a chocolate tickle before!
