QUESTION
What was your first impression?
.
THE SCOOP
Emily: This place SO does not belong in Tooele! This is the absolute cutest old-fashioned candy store I’ve ever seen. (Yes, even cuter than Sweet Afton’s and the one in Old Town Sacramento).
Kristina: The place was adorable. Not only did it look good enough to eat, it actually was good enough to eat. It gave me the same feeling as a magical unicorn does.
Lauren: Scrumptious! The decor, the goodies, the atmosphere—everything was deliciously delightful!
Quinn: Completely ADORABLE! This place is sooo dang cute and fun!
Stephanie: I was beyond pleasantly surprised. The interior was bright, cheery, beautifully decorated and most of all, filled with hundreds of jars of candy.
Veronica: They fit a LOT of stuff into a fairly small space but it didn’t feel overcrowded.

QUESTION
What did you like the most?
.
THE SCOOP
Emily: The assortment of candy. Seriously, Sweet Lizzie’s has it all. I found my favorite Brach’s neopolitan coconut candy, coconut Jelly Bellies, dark chocolate-covered raisins and then discovered Chick-O-Sticks. Actually, I lied. All that was great but my favorite thing was this re-upholstered chair (antiqued creamy white with floral print) for only $42!
Kristina: The candy. Oh, and the candy. Also, did I mention the candy? Everything was very reasonably priced, and they had little dollar bags of candy next to the large jars so you could trick your children into thinking you were spending millions of dollars on their sweet tooth.
Lauren: Chocolate covered mint cookie bits—where have these been all my life?
Quinn: They have SO many varieties of candies and I love how you can just snag a small $1 bag rather than having to buy larger quantities. They rocked my world with their sour cherry balls—my favorite!!!
Stephanie: The environment of the store. It isn’t just a candy store, it’s an experience.
Veronica: Loved the great prices on both the candy and home decor items. I also loved the look of the glass candy jars lining the floor to ceiling shelves.

QUESTION
What didn’t you like?
.
THE SCOOP
Emily: Definitely the location, although this store makes Tooele worth the drive (not kidding). The burnt peanuts weren’t my favorite either.
Kristina: I wish there had been some sort of seating area where I could sit down as I gave myself three new cavities. I also didn’t like that the business was in Tooele and not in my backyard.
Lauren: Tooele is not nearly close enough for the daily visits I would like to make to this shop. Salt Lake needs a Sweet Lizzies!
Quinn: I wasn’t a huge fan of any of the chocolate items I tried. They were decent, but I expected much more from the chocolate (I really, really, really wanted to love them).
Stephanie: That it is in Tooele and not Salt Lake.
Veronica: That my kids weren’t there with me to experience all that sugary goodness!

QUESTION
Would you refer Sweet Lizzie’s to a friend?
.
THE SCOOP
Emily: That would be a “heck, yes!” I’ve already raved about it on Facebook and Twitter. Thinking about taking my kids there and seeing what else Tooele has to offer.
Kristina: Absolutely. I would even be willing to go back to Tooele to shop there. And if I’m willing to do that you know I am a fan.
Lauren: Absolutely.
Quinn: Absolutely! This shop is so adorable! I can’t wait to take my kids there.
Stephanie: Yes, I actually already have.
Veronica: Yes. Already have!

QUESTION
If you could only send out one tweet about the business, what would you say?
.
THE SCOOP
Emily: Found the most adorable old-fashioned candy store in Tooele of all places. Sweet Lizzie’s is TOTALLY worth the drive!
Kristina: Satisfy your sweeth tooth, and your bottom dollar, at Sweet Lizzie’s.
Lauren: Sweet Lizzies is a treat for all the senses—you’ll have just as much fun looking around as you will munching on the sweeties!
Quinn: Check out Sweet Lizzie’s candy shop in #tooele #utah for the ultimate candy experience! Bring your kids & bring a truck for their lovely restored antique furniture too.
Stephanie: Sweet Lizzie’s is what a candy store should be. Bright, cheery, and most of all delicious.
Veronica: Need a sugar rush that won’t empty your wallet? Sweet Lizzie’s has it…and so much more! #candy #homedecor #gifts

Whoo! You made me want to come and I don’t even live in Utah anymore! LOL Looks like a delightful shop. :)
I live near tooele and have driven by here never stopping in. I definately will stop in now! Thank you!
What do you mean by: “This place “SO does not belong in Tooele?” I am not from Tooele but I moved here about 8 years ago. We love it here. So what’s wrong with Tooele?
