A Nottinghamshire businesses is going from strength to strength after what started in a Bottesford home has now grown into a massive unit as the owners plan to open a shop next week. Amy Stroud and Simon Dickinson set up Exploded Sweets a little over two years ago in October 2022.
Amy explained that they have recently secured a big contract with Home Bargains, and they also hope to open their own shop next week. At the moment the business primarily sells sweets through its website and social media, with a following of around 80,000 on TikTok, but they are looking forward to opening a physical store in Bottesford in addition to their industrial unit.
Whilst the couple plan to open the store next week, they advise people to check their social media for when an official opening date is confirmed. Speaking about the business, the 37-year-old shared: "We are so proud of ourselves. She described the whole process as being "such a journey." However, before Amy and Simon started creating their sweet treats they used to freeze dry something else.
