sweet shop

Sugar treat retailer

A sweet shop is a British term for a store that sells candy, chocolates, and other confections.

The American equivalent is candy store.

Sweet shops traditionally sold loose sweets by weight, scooped from large jars into paper bags, though modern versions may stock packaged goods as well.

The children spent their pocket money at the sweet shop on the corner.
