Small Town Sugar

“I love the feeling I get when I walk into an old-fashioned soda shop or candy shop,” Lockhart said. “It takes me back to being with my grandparents. When I’m in those places I kind of forget the stress of the day, and I just want to really give that to other people.”

Cynthia Peirce, owner of The Yellow House Cafe, previously worked as a store manager at Rhinestone Cowgirl and will provide all of the catering services at Small Town Sugar.

“We will have things like candied bacon, chocolate chip cookies, Reese’s brownies and cake balls,” Peirce said. “Next month [we] will have a whole new menu. We want to keep people coming back in.”

The retro-chic decor inside the party room is optimal for a variety of events, such as bridal showers and first birthday parties, Lockhart said. The room itself can accommodate about 20 to 25 individuals, but tables and chairs can be added throughout the store—adding about 16 extra seats.

Peirce said she is confident residents will enjoy the new shop because it has Lockhart’s stamp on it.

“What’s unique about our shop is Tiffany is involved in it,” she said. “Everything she touches is unique. She has such a vision for what she wants and how she wants things to look. A lot of people know this about her and are excited for what she’s bringing into town. It’s going to be fun.”
