WORCESTER, MA — A popular candy shop in Worcester marked five years in business Thursday.
Bri's Sweet Treats, which specializes in handcrafted candy and treats, is celebrating its anniversary with an official ribbon-cutting at Worcester Public Market, at 160 Green St. The event will run from 3 to 4 p.m. and offer lots of freebies for local guests.
The first 75 attendees will receive free candy. The event will also feature free merchandise with a purchase, a photo booth, raffles, giveaways, anniversary specials and $5 deals, according to the business.
Owner Briana Azier and her son, Cole, began making candy and treat boxes for relatives, friends and neighbors around Christmas 2020, according to the business's website. Azier later began selling the treats after receiving encouragement from people who saw photos of the creations online.
"Five years ago, Bri's Sweet Treats started with me and my little boy making candy during the pandemic. Look at us now," the business wrote in a social media announcement on Thursday. "This community helped build Bri's Sweet Treats, and today we get to celebrate with you."
Bri's Sweet Treats opened its first retail shop inside Worcester Public Market in January 2023, according to the Worcester Business Journal.
