Hi Guys,

I am after some help with regards to a name for a small business. My missus is addicted to Car boot sales and goes every Saturday and Sunday without fail. She has come up with the idea that at both large Car boots she goes to (over 300 stalls at each) their is no one who sells sweets of any description. Now every one eats sweets so we are looking to do it just to bring a small amount of cash in whilst these run. She is planning to sell the old fashioned sweets that you used to see in jars on the top shelfs, (Lime Chocolates, Navy Cough Sweets etc etc etc, aswell as some newer  sweets for the kids.

But we need a name, catchy and funny hopefully. We will be trying to run it as the old sweet shops used to run, Pinny(Don't laugh), old fashioned scales etc etc. Its not a serious business interest but will hopefully bring in a small amount fo money to treat the little one in years to come.

1)Do you think this is a good idea - would you buy

2)Name - We need a name - If its a cracker ill quite easily pay a reward lol. Or play me at heads up - that is a gift in its self

1) Great idea.

2) You could try Honeydukes Sweets (after the sweetshop in Harry Potter), attract the kids, the adults will follow. Could be a copyright issue, but as a mobile shop they'd need to find you Wink .

Yeah, but imagine what a pain it would be explaining countless times that you don't have any chocolate frogs, cauldron cakes or every-flavour beans!

Point... but they'd still buy something. Even better put up a sign saying the Ministry of Magic has banned the magic sweets being sold to Muggles Cheesy

If you are going for the retro look, how about "Sweet Memories" ?
