The beginning
A shop built around treats
The early shelves held familiar British favourites, chocolate bars and the crisps people reach for on the way home. The welcome was just as important as the stock.
Our story
We’re Larg Road Sweets
Behind every great sweet shop is a story. Ours began with a love of confectionery and a simple wish to bring a little more joy to Stranraer, one paper bag at a time.

From a good idea to our Larg Road counter
A love of old-fashioned sweets brought the first idea to life. Local families, passing visitors and regular snack hunters gave it a home.
Small steps mattered.
Growing with Stranraer
Hampers became part of the story
Customers asked us to put together birthday boxes, thank-you bags and little bundles for visitors heading out across Dumfries and Galloway.
