River Street Sweets is a candy store that got its start in the late 1970s, with its first location on historic River Street in Savannah, Georgia.
It all began when a young Tim Strickland coaxed his parents into purchasing a fudge pot for their gift shop. After his older sister Jennifer made her first batch of delicious chocolate mint fudge – it sold like crazy.
They knew then, that selling candy was much more lucrative than Christmas ornaments and knick-knacks, and River Street Sweets began. Today, the family-owned company has grown to include multiple stores all over the country. It’s always an awe-inspiring experience for the kids, with the mountains of chocolate, salt water taffy, and other sweets to choose from.
