Bradford's population sits at around 564,000 as of the most recent estimates, making it the fifth-largest metropolitan borough in England, behind Birmingham, Leeds, Sheffield and Manchester.
Kirkgate closed in 2025 — a useful reminder
For years, Kirkgate Shopping Centre and Market was one of Bradford's main city-centre retail buildings, its market stalls selling everything from fancy goods to sweets alongside a large Primark. It closed on 28 June 2025 as part of a city centre regeneration scheme. Whatever replaces it, the closure is a reasonably clean example of a risk that applies more widely than just Bradford: when your sweets come from one physical building, that building closing, moving, or changing hands takes the option with it. An online order doesn't have that problem.
What's still there
The Broadway Shopping Centre, opened in 2015, is Bradford's other major retail anchor — Next, Khaadi, HMV and a food court among its tenants — but like most shopping centres, it's not built around confectionery specifically. For a general sweet shop with a proper bulk or specialist range, there isn't an obvious equivalent left in the city centre.
Why that pushes Bradford shoppers online anyway
Search "sweets near me" in Bradford today and the results are mostly supermarkets and newsagents — fine for a single bag, not built for bulk, vegan-specific or halal-friendly ranges, or trade cases for a business. Ordering online and having it delivered sidesteps the question of what's currently open in the city centre entirely.
