Welcome!
& thank you for dropping by to our little corner of the internet.
The Sweetie Jar is a traditional sweet shop based in Lochgilphead, Argyll. And we've recently opened a new shop The Chocolate Box of Inveraray so will soon be adding more temptations to the website of some of the lovely stock we have there.
On a visit to one of our shops you can expect a visual delight with wall-to-wall of tempting treats....the only problem you'll have is deciding what to choose from our fantastic selection of sweets and confectionery gifts.
Our professional and courteous staff will give you a warm welcome and be happy to help with all your confectionery needs! We will weigh out your chosen sweets by hand leaving you free to browse the shelves.
We have a wonderful selection of old-school retro sweets, delicious handmade chocolates and other Belgian chocolates in our very tempting chocolate cabinet, fudge, Scottish tablet, kiddy favourites, American candy and lots more.
If you can't get to the shop then I hope you have just as lovely a time browsing our website and finding a little treat for yourself or a delicious gift for someone else!
If you don't see what you are looking for or have a specific custom order in mind please do get in touch, we'd love to hear from you.
Happy Browsing!
Meet the Sweetie Jar Family:
Denise
I opened The Sweetie Jar in April 2016, followed by The Chocolate Box in April 2019. Owning my own business was something I had always dreamed of and so although it was a terrifying prospect I decided just to go for it. I've been on a very steep learning curve ever since but wouldn't change it for the world! I am also mum to five year old Kate, aka The Littlest Assistant!
I love all things girly, sunny Autumn days, cups of tea and I can never resist a bit of cake!!
Karen
You will usually see Karen in the shop on Tuesdays and every second Wednesday, doing a brilliant job of holding the fort!
Karen loves family days, all things Christmas, baking cakes, cups of tea, long walks and the occasional G&T!!
Morwen
This is Morwen! Again Mo has been with me since The Sweetie Jar opened and thankfully keeps coming back to us when she is home from college where she is studying photography.
Mo loves cooking and baking, nice cosy movie nights and a good cocktail after a long day at work!
Sinead
Sinead is the newest member of The Sweetie Jar family and helps out a couple of days a week after school and on some Saturdays.
Sinead loves football, sour sweets and cosy Sundays!
Kate
This is Kate the bossiest, cheekiest and quite possibly cutest member of staff, aka The Littlest Assistant. It's not uncommon to see Kate in The Sweetie Jar 'helping' on a Saturday, during the week Kate is either at nursery or with Granny.
Kate loves Paw Patrol, chocolate ice-cream and her blanky Annie.
