sweetshops

Sugary treat retailers

Sweetshops are British candy stores—small retail establishments selling confectionery, chocolates, and sweets.

The word evokes traditional shops with jars of boiled sweets and penny candy: The children pressed their faces against the sweetshop window.

In American English, the equivalent would be candy store.
