The best sweet shop name?

I was reading a very long list of sweet shop names recently - the diversity and creativity was inspiring! There seem to be some trusted old favourites in amongst some rather entertaining plays on confectionery words.

It made me ponder just what might be the most effective name for a sweet or chocolate shop. Is it something plain and simple so that it “does exactly what it says on the tin” or is something more unusual a way to stand out from the crowd? Many might say that it is the contents of the shop that matter the most and its particular location. They would not be far off the mark! Yet bearing in mind the hours of deliberation that many a retailer will have put into his shop name, it is clearly a key part to the jigsaw.

So, my ponderings are not going to give you any answers I’m afraid but I thought you might like to know some of the most common names in addition to some of the more creative names for sweet shops across the country. Of course, if your shop has an even more creative name than this, why not let us know and we could feature you on Sweet Retailing?
