Regular visitors to Avoca might have noticed a new store at 128 High Street. Venture inside Sweet Pyrenees and you will be greeted by an assortment of sweets, lollies and hand-crafted, artisan confectionary that would tempt even the most committed fitness fanatic.
Sue Wood (pictured) and husband Tony sold their confectionary manufacturing business and made the tree-change to the Pyrenees region five years ago. Since that time, the couple has been busy creating sweet treats on a much smaller scale, as well as sourcing a range of carefully selected products from throughout Australia.
“People who come to Sweet Pyrenees are pleasantly surprised that it’s much more than a ‘lolly shop’,” Sue said.
“Our store is a quality confectionery shop full of surprises with something for everyone, including an extensive gluten-free range.”
Although trading was limited last year during lockdown, Tony and Sue have developed a comprehensive online site, where customers can purchase their favourite treats along with hampers for wedding, birthdays or any special occasion.
As well as trading from their shop front in Avoca, products from Sweet Pyrenees are sold in selected outlets throughout the Pyrenees and central goldfields, as well as regular market stalls.
