MARKET
The Sweetie Stash
Jade Gates decided to buy her first home in Thrapston back in August 2017. She’s so glad that she did – she loves it here!
When was The Sweetie Stash established? I decided to open The Sweetie Stash at the end of January 2021 during lockdown. I had noticed lots of the pick ‘n’ mix areas in shops
rating back in July 2021 which I am so proud of.
Do you sell in other places as well as the indoor market? Yes, I have a website which you can order from. I offer collection, free local delivery and sweets can be posted to anywhere in the UK. You can also contact me via my
had all been closed during the Covid restrictions so thought it was a perfect time to help people still get their sweetie fix!
We offer dairy free, gluten free & vegan mix too!
Instagram and FB pages too.
Who works with you, or do you go it alone? My husband is always on hand for deliveries if needed and my daughter is chief sweet tester!
What is the best thing about your job? Seeing people enjoy my products
Do you have a sweet tooth? Oh yes
– which I was worried about at first,
as I didn’t want to eat all the stock! But being surrounded by sweeties all the time actually makes me eat less!
What’s your favourite mix? My favourite mix is definitely the fizzy mix, you can’t beat an eye watering sour sweet!
Tell us more... Running a business from my home has been something I have wanted to do for a while, so being able to have a dedicated workspace for my businesses and having The Sweetie Stash up and running is a dream come true. We were awarded our 5 star food hygiene
has to be the best thing, it makes me so happy to be able to create something people love!
What makes being in Thrapston Indoor Market such a perfect environment? Everyone is super friendly and I love being out in the community to see everyone face to face.
What’s your best selling product? It has to be the complete mix! It has it all – gummy, foam, fizzy, sour and chocolate – what’s not to love!
Do you cater for allergies? We do offer dairy free and gluten free mixes – vegan mix too! www.thesweetiestash.co.uk
