busiest indoor shopping malls across New Jersey, with additional locations in the New York
metropolitan area and Pennsylvania. Known for its bright, inviting storefronts, fun customer experience,
and consistently strong financial performance, this business has been carefully built over many years
and runs smoothly with systems in place.
This is not a franchise, which means:

Yet the brand is already franchise-ready, supported by full financial history, strong revenue
documentation, multi-year performance data, online visibility, and proven operational systems. A new

- Market Outlook / Competition
- Sugar Bear operates in high-traffic indoor malls where demand for specialty sweets, impulse treats, and family-friendly retail remains strong year-round. The brand stands out through its bright storefronts, product variety, and strong customer following. While other candy stores and kiosks exist, few offer the same scale, consistency, or established multi-location presence. The business benefits from prime mall locations, steady foot traffic, and a recognizable regional brand
- Opportunities for Growth
- Significant opportunity to scale by opening new mall locations across NJ, NY, PA, and surrounding states. The business is also well-positioned to develop into a formal franchise model with strong branding and proven financials. Additional revenue can be generated through e-commerce, custom gift boxes, events, seasonal pop-ups, wholesale of private-label products, and expanding into airports or outlet centers. The model is simple, replicable, and ready for major growth
