IT’S Fun, IT’S Flexible, IT’S Entertaining, IT’S Bringing the Fun Back into Retail

IT’SUGAR was founded to create an environment that fosters the greatest feeling of happiness and humor; that allows you to smile and laugh out loud without judgment. Expanding rapidly, with over 100 locations nationwide, IT’SUGAR aspires to a future where everyone has access to the pure joy that comes from indulging in a world with fewer rules and more sugar.

There are three major things that differentiate IT’SUGAR from other candy retailers.

Second is the ambiance – full of bright colors, loud music, and lighthearted rebellion. The third is the people – passionate, optimistic, and energetic.
