Sweets in Stockport: Sticky Fingers, and 700 Years of Market Trading

Stockport's metropolitan borough was home to around 294,773 people at the 2021 census.

Sticky Fingers, and a market site 700 years in the making

Stockport Market sits on a site that's hosted trading for over 700 years, with the current glass and iron market hall dating to 1861 and home to more than 50 independent businesses. Among the newer arrivals is Sticky Fingers, a sweet shop that opened in spring 2022 and quickly proved popular enough to expand into a second shop in the nearby Underbanks — a genuine specialist, not a bulk supplier.

Still a market shop, not a wholesaler

Seven centuries of trading on one site is remarkable, but a market sweet shop 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 Stockport as anywhere else in the UK — no separate process or extra cost, just standard delivery.

25,000+ customers, and counting

We've served over 25,000 customers UK-wide, Stockport and the rest of Greater Manchester included, with most orders dispatched within 1-2 business days. The range covers pick 'n' mix by the bag and tub, bulk bags from 1kg to 3kg, trade cases for events and businesses, vegan and halal-friendly sweets, retro favourites, and full chocolate ranges from the major brands.
