What do the owners say?

The owner Kathryn Titman said: “We feel we are offering something new to Blackpool, a place where families can visit that have children of different ages, somewhere to treat your child to go to if they have been good on a shopping trip around Blackpool, somewhere to have a birthday party that stands out with our Topping party extravaganza.

“We are a small family business that cares about customer experience and for customers that like to grab a bargin we set up our Facebook group at Sweet Treatment which will regularly release offers and discounts to followers who quote the medically themed saying. We do also have our standard Facebook page for opening times, news and events as we plan to offer a varierty of activities to entertain.

“We will be opening the shop on Thursday the 14th, it has been a bumpy journey to get to this point but we are really looking forward to welcoming customers and seeing our hard work of transforming what was one of Blackpools eye sore shops into a stylish venue that puts children at the heart of it.”
