Our business provides the ultimate sugar experience - candy retailing of edible nostalgia in an environment that is unique, fun and novel. Our customers range in age from 8 months to beyond 88 years, and have a zest for all things candy.

Our vision is to establish Sugar Mountain as the retailer of choice for 'edible fun' while maintaining our uncompromising principles as we grow. Our mission is to have a market presence encompassing 30 retail stores across North America by 2010.
In 1992 Sugar Mountain began in Toronto as a street level open-air booth on trendy Queen Street West. Our founder outgrew that booth and moved to a nearby storefront in early 1995.
The new, bigger space allowed the store to evolve and flourish. Like a mouthful of Pop Rocks, Sugar Mountain's business exploded, developing a near-cult like clientele with an unquenchable thirst for the sugar experience.

Today, there are a total of 9 Sugar Mountain stores. There are currently two stores in Toronto, three in Ottawa, one in Waterloo, one in London, and two in Winnipeg. February of 2005 saw Ottawa's third Sugar Mountain retail store open, in the Glebe .

Keep your eyes open, more Sugar Mountain stores are on the way... maybe in an area near you!
Our growth is attributed both to our customers' desire for unique candy confectionery, as well as our commitment to provide a unique experience surrounding the edible nostalgia we deliver.
Sugar Mountain has spent the last 10 years becoming a part of Toronto. As such, Sugar Mountain has won the 'Best Candy Store' award from NOW Magazine since the award began in 1996 (as well as EYE Magazine's "Best Candy Store" award since it started the category in 1998). Sugar Mountain has been deemed an authority on candy, sugar and nostalgia across Metropolitan T.O., and as such we receive regular press and media coverage.

Current marketing efforts see Sugar Mountain continuing to capitalize on its goodwill within Toronto, and branding the organization nationally as we expand into new markets. We are seeing a similar interest and response by the media community in all of our expansion markets to date.

Our stores are as much of a draw as the product we bring to market - described as neo-carnival in décor and containing every type of enticing confection known to mankind.
Mojos, grape-flavoured licorice (Sugar Mountain carries approximately 55 different flavours and lines of licorice), Candy Necklaces, Lola's, Astro Pops, Swedish Berries, Curly Wurly's, Pez, Fun Dip, Chupa Chups suckers (every flavour under the sun!), Penguin Bars, Big League Chew, Wonka Bars, Popeye Candy Sticks (formerly Popeye Cigarettes), Chocolate Covered and Yogurt Covered Pretzels, Garbage Candy, Pop Rocks, Power Poppers, Tootsie Pops, just to name a very few. We even carry an extensive line of Sea Monkey's for the nostalgia enthusiast. We travel the world so we may provide our clientele with the ultimate sugar experience - product in our stores is sourced from countries such as South Africa, Mexico, England, Holland, Brazil, and the United States.

Sugar Mountain retail store sales are divided among a near even split between bulk and packaged candy, 51% packaged candy (including beverages), and 49% bulk product. Approximately 40% of our inventory of packaged candy is imported from countries outside of North America - South Africa, Great Britain, Brazil, Holland, Finland and Switzerland to name just a few. Part of Sugar Mountain's identifying attraction is our unique mix of products - we carry a wide range of confectionery products not found amongst our competitors.
In addition to our retail store presence, Sugar Mountain operates a healthy Business-2-Business operation, supplying corporate clientele with custom Loot Bag orders, Gift Boxes and specialty candy catering.

The Sugar Mountain personality consists of friendliness, a sense of discovery and nostalgia, and being a selection leader in category. The key elements of personality consist of bright décor emulating candy, clutter and nostalgia. Soft pastels compliment the bright primary colours of candy and toys. The customer focus is on the product, the shopping experience derived from the product, and of course the delight in enjoying the product.
