How the Candy Can Company began

Once upon a time, long, long ago, in a far off land, called Scotland, there lived a little girl called Linsey, who had a dream…to have her own sweetie shop.

When dragons abounded plentifully at school (teachers) and gnashing monsters stirred at home (siblings), Linsey would go to her bedroom in the attic and dream of lands filled with sweeties, chocolate and lollipops. Of course, her favourite adventures were joining Charlie in the Chocolate Factory and making up new songs and sweets with the Oompa Loompa’s.

As Linsey grew up, her dream became a distant memory. She fell in love, got married and had gnashing monsters of her own! But, she never truly gave up on her dream. One day, not that long ago, Linsey, her husband and her gnashing brood went on holiday to a magical land…Florida! On returning to her home, in Bonnie Perthshire, Linsey knew that she would have to slay dragons, battle ferocious armies and learn from the wisest of scholars to win her hearts desire…but she would WIN!

In the year of our Lord, two thousand and eight, Linsey was victorious with her dream and rejoiced the creation of ‘The Candy Can Company’, not just any sweet shop, but an ALL American candy store which would bring to everyone the fun, flavours and excitement American candy brought back into Linsey’s life.

Linsey’s dream now is “that The Candy Can Company will hopefully…live happily ever after!”

Well, that was the story up until May 2010...Since 2009 Linsey has grown wiser and learnt many new skills...how to control important Oracles...called Facebook and Twitter, which help spread the great word of The Candy Can Company. Great events have taken place in great lands called Glasgow and Edinburgh, but more is to come in the year of our Lord, two thousand and ten.

2011 has shown continued changes for Linsey and her dreams. She 'sweet' talked her way into Cafe Circa's Delicatessen within the Scottish Antique & Art Centre, Abernyte, Perthshire and so spreads the word of American candy to many more unassuming consumers. To follow Linsey and The Candy Can Company's adventures, the all knowing and all telling Oracles of Facebook and Twitter are the realms to endure...
