Family-Run Swedish Candy Shop | Reno News

Nikki’s Candy, Reno’s first-ever bulk Swedish candy shop, is a family-driven dream born from a simple market gap—and it’s sweet success story is anything but easy. Owner Nikki Patterson launched the venture in January 2025, offering premium, allergen-friendly treats (vegan, gluten-free, corn-free) that cater to dietary needs while delighting candy lovers. Unexpected building code hurdles and tight budgets nearly derailed the opening—but with grit, teamwork, and help from her kids Vivian (who named the biz) and Dylan, they pulled it off. Now the only bulk Swedish candy spot in Northern Nevada, they’re expanding with wholesale bags and a mobile candy cart—proving that passion, resilience, and family can turn a sweet idea into a sugar-splashed reality.
