Our Story, opening a Swedish Candy Store on Nantasket Beach
Welcome to Nantasket Sweets By Swedes!
The only woman-owned Swedish Candy store on the east coast in the U.S.
Me Maria Stolt opened a Swedish candy store on Christmas Eve 2020.
I’m a Swedish female business investor from Sweden. With a passion for Swedish candy and chocolate.
I have been in the hospitality business over 35 years and the last 10 years as a Hotel General manager in Sweden.
I’m also a trained chef which was a natural step for me to start making my own chocolate creations for my candy store. Now I'm using a commercial kitchen next to my store for my production.
In 2019 my family and I left Sweden and invested all we had in to the Candy store in Hull Nantasket Beach, to build our American dream.
In 2021 my husband was diagnosed with a severe kidney diseases and he just had a few months to live. In April 2022 I donated my kidney to my husband. We manage to keep the doors open during all a very difficult time thanks to family friends and employees.
Our mission is to bring more natural candy to the market. Less artificial ingredients and all my chocolate products are made organically from scratch in small batches. Using only French and Belgian Chocolates like Valrhona and Callebaut.
Assortment of Gluten Free, Vegan, GMO, sugar free Candy. Old Fashion American Penny Candy. Local made Lollipops, Sodas and Gourmet Salt Water Taffy. Served with Freshly brewed cup of Espresso.
HULL Nantasket Beach November 5 in 1992. My first time on Nantasket Beach.
Growing up, I heard stories about my grandfathers convenient store just outside Malmköping in Sweden. He was mixing his own coffee brand and his store was a popular spot in the Town.
His name was Carl Teodor Gustafson and he started his convenient store 1929. The store got very popular and soon the big corporation laid their eyes on his business. During this time in Sweden as many as 20% of the population immigrate to USA.
My grandfather C. T Gustafson Convenient store 1929 outside Malmkoping Sweden.
My grandparents Alva & C.T Gustafson on my father side and Britta & Algot Johansson on my mothers side, are great inspirations to everything I do. Hard working Swedes that build the Swedish country.
