The Licorice Stand

Directions

The Licorice Stand The Licorice Stand—a bright, bold, and seriously fun market stall serving up sweet and sour licorice straps in a rainbow of flavours! We’d love to meet you!

The best sweet and sour licorice in town with 16 bold, mouth-watering flavours ranging from traditional red and black twists to fun favourites like sour apple, sweet fairy floss, and watermelon. We’re all about those nostalgic treats you loved as a kid, plus a few new twists to surprise your taste buds. Whether you're into classic strawberry or tangy sour apple, there's something here for everyone (yes—even the hardcore sour fans!).

🛍️ You’ll find us popping up at markets across the region with our vibrant marquee, friendly service, and rows of colourful licorice that are just as fun to look at as they are to eat. We’re a locally run, food-safe certified business, and we’re here to bring a bit of sweetness (and sourness!) to your day. Follow along to see where we’ll be next—or come say hi at our next market stop.
