Meet the Traders: World of Fudge & Sweets
Food | Producers
Through a new series, we are looking forward to shining a spotlight on the wonderful independent businesses that make Lock29 what it is.
Our series also aims to showcase the benefits of buying from an independent business instead of a national chain.
Today, our spotlight is on World of Fudge and Sweets, our longest-standing trader.
World of Fudge & Sweets started around 6 years ago when Pete retired from being an electrician for 40 years. He had a stall in Castle Quay selling handmade fudge when the opportunity came up to open a stand in Lock29 in 2020. Peter & wife, Jane, opened at the same time as Lock29 when we opened back in August 2020, selling their homemade fudge.
After 18 months, they expanded the fudge stall into a retro sweet and fudge shop, now offering over 200 jars of retro sweets and a large range of their fudge.
Pete recommends that people should try a bag of their delicious fudge upon their visit to Lock29.
When asked about what is special about being part of Lock29, Pete said, "Here at Lock29, we are like one big family, all looking after our businesses but also here to help each other. There is a great atmosphere between us all."
Pete also does pop-up stalls with his fudge at country shows, so keep an eye on his socials for any updates.
Whether you’re indulging yourself or picking up a thoughtful gift, his fudge and sweets are perfect for every occasion.
