confectioneries
Shops selling sweets
Confectioneries are shops or businesses that sell candy and sweets, or the sweets themselves.
The word covers both the place a row of bakeries and confectioneries along the main street and the products a display case filled with confectioneries.
In American English, candy store is more common for the shop; confectionery appears more in formal or British contexts.
