Popular Mahoning Valley business to celebrate one-year anniversary with weekend giveaway

Last November, Sweet Memories Vintage Tees and Candy expanded their inventory to sell beloved toys and games from years ago.

The woman-owned business opened in 2023 in Girard, but they’ve been selling T-shirts and giving back to the Mahoning Valley community since 2020.

Sweet Memories is America’s largest manufacturer of licensed candy and ice cream branded T-shirts, showcasing memorable brands like Hot Tamales, Good Humor and Tootsie Rolls.

This weekend, Sweet Memories is celebrating raising over $60,000 for NICU patients at Akron Children’s Hospital since 2020 with customer-appreciation giveaways.

Stop by Sweet Memories Nov. 15 - 17 from 10 a.m. - 7 p.m. at 1282 Trumbull Ave. Suite A1 in Girard to check out new apparel and early holiday gifts.
