A new family-owned candy shop plans to kick off its grand opening week on March 18. Courtney Okanlomo, alongside her husband, sister and mother, will own and operate Cypress Sweets at 11702 Grant Road, Ste. E, Cypress.

Okanlomo, a local real estate agent, said the shop would offer a variety of candies—including specialty items, sugar-free options, bulk packages and other sweet treats. Candy crafting classes, a jar decorating station and events such as birthday parties and scout meetings will also be held at the store, she said.
