The Candy Shoppe
Behind The Candy Shoppe...
I have always had a passion for anything related to fabric, thread, and creativity! I inherited my passion from my Mother, who inherited it from her Mother. So…it’s in my genes.
After nearly a year of deployment to Iraq, our Tom was thinking about redeployment and home. He sent me an email with a random thought as to what he thought I should do after retirement. I think he knew me well! It was six years later and I had the hankering to turn one of my passions into a wee bit more than a hobby! So, I created a business, bought the necessary equipment and set up shop! I agonized over what to name my business for a few days, when I remembered the email Tom sent me several years prior. Read on and learn how The Candy Shoppe, LLC was born!
The Email From Tom...
Subject: just an idea
I was thinking the other day and came up with a most excellent idea for you.
When you finally do decide to get out of the Army you should open a sewing store there in San Antonio or wherever y’all end up and call it The Candy Shoppe.
I think it’d be fantastic. You could sew all day long and help other people sew all day long and make money doing it! I won’t even charge you for the name idea. 🙂
Hope everything’s going well.
Love you,
Tom
