In a delightful turn of events, Essential Amor, a charming sweet shop in Southwold, is expanding its operations after a remarkably successful start. With an aim to cater to more customers, the shop will now open from 11 am to 4 pm, Wednesday through Sunday, enhancing its previous schedule of just Fridays to Mondays.

Community-Focused Approach

The shop, which opened its doors in January, is run by Jessica Cannon and her mother, Emma Bowen.

From candles and diffusers to an enticing selection of retro pick-and-mix sweets, Essential Amor is becoming a go-to destination for both comfort and nostalgia.

A Bright Future Ahead

Jessica Cannon expressed her excitement about the change in opening hours, stating, "After getting a feel for the lovely town of Southwold over the last few months, we’ve changed our opening times to hopefully accommodate everyone wanting to visit us." This adjustment reflects the shop's commitment to its community and desire to welcome more visitors, especially during the busy summer months.
