Celebrating the Sweet Success of Giant Bradley’s Sweet Shop
At Giant Bradley’s Sweet Shop, every milestone is a reminder of just how far a little passion (and a lot of sweets!) can go. From our early days packing orders by hand to becoming an award-winning online sweet shop loved across the UK, our journey has been nothing short of amazing.
We’ve always believed in creating something special — a place where sweet lovers of all ages can rediscover childhood favourites, explore the best of British confectionery, and enjoy that unbeatable feeling of a sweet treat done right. Thanks to our wonderful customers, we’ve received recognition from some of the region’s most respected business awards and national platforms.
Here’s a look at our story so far — and the sweet successes that make us proud to be Yorkshire’s favourite sweet shop.
