Sweet Annie’s Candy Shoppe has announced that it will close on March 9th. Annie Maloney opened the store at 81 East Butler Avenue in Ambler in July 2020. In the announcement, Maloney pointed to the lack of “steady foot traffic and ample parking” to sustain the business.

From the announcement:

It is with mixed emotions that we announce the decision to close our beloved candy shoppe. After much thought and consideration, Sunday, March 9th will be our last day of business.

This decision was not made lightly. Our candy shoppe has been a part of this community for five fun-filled years, and we are incredibly grateful for the support, love, and sweet memories we’ve shared with all of you.

Ambler has a tremendous amount of potential and is a wonderful town, but is not without its challenges. There are so many great small-business owners and loyal patrons. However, the lifeblood of small businesses, such as steady foot traffic and ample parking, never truly materialized.

For the benefit of all businesses, we look forward to seeing Ambler’s vibrant restaurant and hair salon scene be complimented with more of a variety of specialty and niche retail shops that will help to attract more visitors and repeat shoppers.

In the end, I thank you all for being a part of our Sweet Annie’s family. Your support has meant the world to us, and we will cherish these memories forever. Feel free to stop in for one last chance to indulge in your favorite candies and gifts.
