535 Duke Sweet

We came across this old fashioned style wee sweet shop on Duke Street last weekend when I was craving some gummy sweets. It’s quite a small shop with a counter to the left and behind the counter tubs/​jars of lots of different types of old fashioned style sweets. Also on the counter and to the right they have some more ‘modern’ sweets (if that’s even a thing!) and also some American sweets too. I was happy to see they had Halloween themed sweeties in the form of witches fingers & brain gummy sweets, milk chocolate skulls, a BIG chocolate pumpkin (which I really wish I’d bought now!) and some rather cool Stay Puft marshmallow man & Slimer from Ghostbusters lollies! We had to get one.
The shop seemed to be ran by a lady and her 2 sons (?) helping her which I thought was very sweet (*groan*) but also I only know too well how horribly tempting it is as a kid to just help yourself to the delicious stock when your parent/​s run/​own a shop that sells sweeties! My poor Dad must’ve always wondered why he got through SO much stock… oops! :-)
Prices are pretty good ~ you pay per 100g for the loose sweets. They also have a really good selection. I think they sell Slush Puppy style drinks too… I may be wrong as I was in a bit of a sugartastic zone when I was in there. It says on their Facebook page they sell hot drinks too.
Also they make up ‘Sweetie Sprays’ which is a big basket of assorted sweets/​chocolate for ‘parties’ (errr…YOURSELF!) for £14.99.
They’re open Mon-​Sat, 9−5pm. If you’re in the area and you happen to be one of them Sweet Shop Avengerz then get yourself in here. It’s okay if you’re teeths get damaged as there’s a dentist pretty much next door! Sorted.
