confectionaries

Shops selling sweets

Confectionaries are shops or businesses that sell candy, sweets, and other sugar-based treats.

The term also refers to the confections themselves—chocolates, candies, pastries, and similar delicacies: The old confectionaries on Main Street have given way to chain stores.

Confectionery is the more common form in both senses.
