Every great independent business has a story, and Sweeeeeetz is no exception.
Behind the shelves packed with retro sweets, colourful pick and mix, American candy and delicious treats is Andrew Chalkley, the founder of Sweeeeeetz and someone with a genuine passion for creating memorable experiences for customers of all ages.
Since opening the doors in October 2021, Sweeeeeetz has grown from a local sweet shop in Dunstable into a trusted online sweet retailer, serving customers across Bedfordshire and throughout the UK.
Bringing a Traditional Sweet Shop Back to the High Street
There’s something special about walking into a traditional sweet shop.
The colourful displays, the familiar smell of sweets, and the excitement of choosing your favourites from hundreds of jars bring back happy memories for so many people.
Andrew wanted to recreate that feeling for the local community in Dunstable – a place where families, children and adults alike could rediscover classic favourites while also finding exciting new treats from around the world.
When Sweeeeeetz opened in October 2021, the goal was simple: combine the charm of a traditional sweet shop with excellent customer service, quality products and a shopping experience that people would want to come back to again and again.
Today, that vision continues to grow.

While many people first discover Sweeeeeetz because they’re looking for nostalgic sweets, there’s so much more to explore.
Our shelves are stocked with an incredible range of products, including:

Serving Dunstable and Customers Across the UK
Although Sweeeeeetz is proudly based in Dunstable, Bedfordshire, our customers come from all over the country.
Our online store allows sweet lovers across the UK to enjoy the same fantastic products that visitors find when they walk through our shop doors.
Every order is carefully prepared, packed with care and dispatched so customers can enjoy fresh sweets delivered directly to their home.

Supporting the Local Community
Independent businesses play an important role in every town, and Sweeeeeetz is proud to be part of the Dunstable community.
Since opening, we’ve enjoyed welcoming local families, supporting schools, supplying community events and helping customers celebrate birthdays, weddings, baby showers and countless other special occasions.
Seeing familiar faces return time after time is one of the most rewarding parts of running an independent business.

The journey of Sweeeeeetz has attracted attention beyond the shop itself.
