Lincoln's population reached around 100,000 in recent estimates, the largest town in Lincolnshire.
Sharpe's and Goodies, two Lincoln institutions
Lincoln has two genuinely long-standing independent sweet shops. Sharpe's Sweets, established in 1969, trades in the Cornhill Quarter in the city centre. Goodies, jam-packed with traditional confectionery, has traded at the bottom of Steep Hill since 1998. Both are proper local institutions, alongside newer arrivals like The Naked Marshmallow Co, which opened its Steep Hill shop in 2022 after starting online in 2014.
Still independent shops, not wholesalers
Decades of independent trading is real heritage, but a shop like Sharpe's or Goodies is set up for a shopper filling a bag, not a business ordering trade cases or an event needing a vegan-specific or halal-friendly range sorted in bulk.
Why that still means ordering online for volume
For anything beyond shop quantities, ordering online and having it delivered works exactly the same in Lincoln as anywhere else in the UK — no separate process or extra cost, just standard delivery.
